The Nigerian Medical Association, (NMA), Zamfara State Branch, has expressed concern over the level of brain drain in the medical sector, as a result of insecurity in the state.
The Vice Chairman of the Association, Doctor Ibrahim Jibril, said this while briefing newsmen in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital ahead of the Association’s Scientific Conference.
He said many of the doctors are leaving the state daily, due to the level of insecurity in Zamfara State.
The association also called on FG to step up the fight against banditry, saying that the situation is worsening by the day, and has overwhelmed the already fragile health sector in the state.
It urged the government to change its strategies in the ongoing fight against banditry, and consider relocating a significant military command to Zamfara State, Northwest Nigeria, to prosecute the war against insecurity and restore peace.
Doctor Jibril, revealed that in the last month, ten medical doctors left the state because of the prevailing security challenges in Zamfara.
