Nigerian doctors are leaving Nigeria in droves to seek better working conditions abroad.
Health workers say decades of neglect by the government has led to mass exodus.
While the doctor-patient ratio recommended by the World Health Organization is one for every 400, but in Nigeria, its one for 2,500.
Nigeria’s nurses’ union says 11,000 members have left the country in the first three months of 2022, to work in hospitals abroad.
Senior consultants say while the immediate future is bleak, the government can reverse the trend.
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Kano, Nigeria.
