HAW CAN I GET THE SLIDES

[@ekeretteekpo3004]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation.
If I may ask, when was the data compiled and for what period is it relevant for? I heard the mention of Nigeria having 4 physicians per 10000 population and I seriously would like to know when that information was derived.

[@ndphtn]

Thank you for watching our training and your kind comments. This figure for Nigeria of approximately 4 physicians per 10,000 population was stated at a WHO conference in 2020. An article in the Business Day Journal also used this figure (1 per 2753 or approximately 4 per 10,000 population) reported from the Nigerian ministry of health. Here's a link to that article: businessday.ng/uncategorized/article/ratio-of-nigerian-doctors-to-population-is-1-2753-fg/

@@ndphtn I didn't realise it has gotten this worse within the space of 4 years. I am a clinician in Nigeria and this realisation saddens me. To think that I am currently hoping for the opportunity to pursue a masters abroad, of which my departure would imply a further worsening of the situation as I'm sure there will be others like me looking to depart.
