Dr Badmus Kabir, the Vice-President of the association, told Newsmen on Sunday in Zaria, that brain drain, popularity known as ‘Japa Syndrome’, has been one of the major issues depleting the human resources for health in Nigeria.

The union leader noted that two years ago NARD members at the ABUTH branch were far over 500, but the register has depleted to a little above 400 members because of migration. He added that he is a Senior Registrar at the Department of Anaesthesia, ABUTH; the department has about 18 senior registrars, five of the 18 have left Nigeria within two years.

He lamented over the increasing number of young doctors who were undergoing training leaving ABUTH in the last two years against what was obtained in the past when senior doctors were leaving.
