NMA Tasks Government On Giving More Incentives To Medical Doctors To Reduce ‘Japa’ Syndrome

In order to lessen the “Japa” syndrome in Nigeria, the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), in Oyo State, has urged governments to provide physicians and other healthcare professionals with greater incentives.

Dr. Happy Adedapo, the state’s union president, made the plea Thursday in Ibadan during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN.

He said that if the doctors were made comfortable, the “japa” syndrome—one of the biggest problems facing health personnel in 2024—could be minimized.

“Giving doctors auto loans is a reasonable way for the government to support and retain medical professionals.

“We request that Governor Makinde provide the medical residency training fund to the state’s physicians.

“Doctors in Oyo State should also be paid according to the modified unified medical salary scale that FG established.

“The pay reward should be enjoyed by state employees as well. Giving doctors additional incentives to encourage them is not too much for the government to do.

“The least amount of Japa syndrome should be eliminated.

“To keep the doctors in the system and stop them from leaving Nigeria, soft car loans can be given to them,” he stated.

In order to enhance healthcare services in Oyo State and throughout Nigeria by 2025, Adedapo asked medical professionals and pertinent stakeholders to collaborate.
