ABUJA, Nigeria — Each week, at least 12 Nigerian doctors 
<https://www.icirnigeria.org/at-least-12-nigerian-doctors-employed-in-the-uk-every-week-report-reveals/>Â are 
employed in the United Kingdom. More than 4,000 are already practicing 
in the United States, while Canada continues to attract medical 
professionals from Africa’s most populous nation.

But there are no full-time specialists at most Nigerian public 
hospitals. They are largely staffed by retired nurses, community health 
officers, and new doctors with little clinical experience. More than 
half of the doctors remaining in Nigeria work in a handful of major 
cities.  (/*clink on link for rest of article*/)
