The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has called on the Federal Government to implement a 65-year retirement age for clinical health workers, citing the need to retain experienced professionals amid a shortage of skilled healthcare personnel in the country. NMA President Dr. Afekhide Omoti made the demand during a press briefing held after the association's National Executive Council meeting, which took place from August 24 to 28, 2026.
The NMA argues that extending the retirement age would provide a temporary solution while the country addresses broader challenges in its healthcare workforce, including migration, infrastructure, and working conditions.
