The Former Commissioner for Health in Ogun State, Dr Babatunde Ipaye, on Wednesday raised the alarm over what he described as the “unacceptable” poor remuneration for the medical doctors in the country, saying that this might begin to discourage the young generation from embracing the rigours of medical training.
Ipaye said that to achieve relative peace in the health sector such that the medical doctors won’t be embarking on frequent industrial action while the members of the public are left to suffer, government at all levels must prioritise increment in funding the health sector and ensure that the welfare of the medical doctors are not left in dire situation as it were with current poor remuneration.
