Give more incentives to health workers to reduce Japa syndrome – NMA
The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, in Oyo State has appealed to governments to give more incentives to health workers and doctors to reduce the ‘japa’ syndrome in Nigeria.
President of the union in the state, Dr Happy Adedapo made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN on Thursday in Ibadan.
He remarked that the ‘japa’ syndrome, which was one of the major challenges of health workers in 2024, could be reduced to the barest minimum if the doctors were made comfortable.
“It’s not too much for the government to give car loans to doctors to encourage them and keep them in the system.
“We appeal to Gov. Makinde to pay the doctors working in the state the medical residency training fund.
“The adjusted consolidated medical salary scale that FG implemented should also be implemented for doctors in Oyo State as well.
“State workers should also enjoy the wage award. It’s not too much for the government to give more incentives to the doctors to encourage them.
“The japa syndrome should be reduced to the barest minimum.
“Soft car loans can be given to the doctors to keep them in the system and prevent them from leaving Nigeria,” he said.
Adedapo urged health workers and relevant stakeholders to work in synergy to improve healthcare delivery in Oyo State and Nigeria at large in 2025.
