Nigeria faces a critical shortage of healthcare workers due to the migration of doctors and nurses seeking better opportunities abroad. This “brain drain” leaves the country with a doctor-to-patient ratio of 1:6,000, far below the WHO recommendation of 1:600. As a result, patients experience long wait times, overworked staff, and inconsistent care quality.

By fostering local talent and providing a supportive working environment, the hospital contributes to reversing the brain drain. Its commitment to professional development and competitive compensation helps ensure consistent, high-quality care for its patients.
