Recent findings indicated that the United Kingdom’s General Medical Council has licensed not less than fresh 91 Nigerian-trained doctors.

It was discovered that the accreditation of the 91 doctors occurred over 15 days between October 10 and October 25, 2022.

The total number of Nigerian-trained doctors in the UK now stands at 10,387.

There are 5,210 associate specialists, 2,318 doctors in training, 1,837 general practitioners, and 1,273 specialists among the 10,387 doctors.

The accreditation of the 91 doctors came amidst cries by the Nigerian Medical Association against the brain drain bedevilling the health sector.

Apart from doctors, other categories of health workers are also migrating.
