FG Approves National Policy To Address Health Workforce Migration

President Bola Tinubu has approved the National Policy on Health Workforce Migration to address the challenges facing Nigeria’s health human resources.
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, made the disclosure through his X handle.
According to Pate, the policy is more than just a response to the ongoing exodus of healthcare professionals but a comprehensive strategy to manage, harness, and reverse health worker migration.
Central to the new policy is the Nigeria Human Health Resource Programme, which establishes a framework for regularly reviewing the working conditions of health workers.
Also, the policy prioritizes capacity building, recognizing the need for continuous professional development and international training opportunities for Nigerian healthcare professionals.
