The register of the General Medical Council (GMC) of the

United Kingdom has revealed that no fewer than 162

Nigerian-trained doctors have been licensed to practice in the

UK in the last six weeks.

The GMC is a public body that maintains the official register of

medical practitioners within the UK.

Nigeria has been faced with worrying brain drain in recent

times, with many professionals, including doctors, leaving the

country for greener pastures.

The President of the Nigerian Association of Resident

Doctors, Emeka Orji, while speaking with newsmen said the

government needs to work with the medical bodies to resolve

their lingering concerns.
