Chukwumerije listed   poor remuneration, inadequate modern equipment  and a  lack of low interest loans for those who want to set up medical facilities in Nigeria as some of the impediments to their homecoming. He said, “The major barrier preventing the relocation of medical doctors back to Nigeria is incentive. Every human character and behaviour is linked to incentives. Some of the incentives to get back the medical doctors abroad to Nigeria are not in place.

 

“Most of us here love our country and our hearts are in Nigeria but we just have to be physically at another country. We  are very passionate about improving health care system here but the incentives, especially remuneration sends people out and force them to remain abroad. “Another thing is a lack of proper equipment to work with. Most people abroad honestly want to come back. But to physically relocate,  we will need the right financial incentives.

 

“The Federal Government should provide low interest loans for health care workers so that medical practitioners abroad could bring their money and have access to low interest loans.”
