Prof. Darlington Obaseki is the Chief Medical Director of University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH). Obaseki in this interview with CHUKWUMA MUANYA, shares the secret of how to achieve industrial harmony in healthcare sector.
We were told about a 1000 doctors have left the country in the past few months and government hospitals like yours are currently having problems with recruitment. How do you ensure that these patients get the best of services with less number of doctors?
The country does not know what we are facing. Right now, the health system in Nigeria is nearly collapsing if we don’t tackle this issue of doctors’ emigration frontally. We are training doctors for other health care systems elsewhere in the world. The government of Nigeria spends lots of money to train me to where I am today and I went abroad for training. I never felt inferior to my colleagues; in fact they kept asking me if I trained in Europe and I would say ‘No, I trained in Nigeria.
