The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has urged the Federal Government to promptly implement a 65-year retirement age for clinical health workers. NMA President Dr Afekhide Omoti made the call at a press briefing following the association's National Executive Council meeting. He emphasized the importance of retaining experienced professionals amid a shortage of skilled healthcare personnel, both due to migration and other factors.
Omoti stressed that the issue of retirement age is part of a broader review of challenges affecting Nigeria's health sector, including infrastructure, workforce welfare, insecurity, and brain drain.
