The Health Ministry is an inter-professional sector, previous health ministers seem to forget this simple fact, they focus all their energy trying to serve the interest of the NMA at the expense of other professional interest in the health sector. Nigeria need a change from the past, we need a minister who will separate his/her personal professional interest and commitments from affecting his duties to Nigerian people, and make qualityhealth care delivery utmost priority instead of welfare and interest of Doctors. Most ministers in recent past have failed the sector and country due to their inability to remove their primary professional constituency interest from interfering with their roles as ministers of health, they left other professional group to languish in neglect resulting in many unnecessary industrial unrest.

They ended up becoming ministers of doctors, rather than ministers of health, a ministerial candidate was asked during the ongoing senate screening what he will do to prevent industrial unrest in the health sector and he started talking about engaging resident doctors because he is a medical doctor, how about the nurses, pharmacist, medical scientists, physiotherapist …An example is the recent past Minister of Health, Prof. Oyebuchi Chukwu, who refused to obey all court rulingsfavouring other health professionals, but will quickly implement those favouring his immediate constituency the NMA and MDCN.
