Nigeria’s healthcare challenges
Nigeria’s health care system has had to deal with many problems over the years, such as a lack of qualified workers and coordination, as well as problems with welfare and salaries.
Due to these problems, many of the country’s healthcare workers have left for better pastures outside the continent, leaving gaps in the local healthcare workforce.
In 2019, Nigerian Medical Associations (NMA) raised worry over the poor healthcare system. NMA data shows that 3,000 to 3,500 doctors graduate from medical schools each year, yet many remain unemployed.
Doctors, nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals have endured 65% underemployment in recent years.
In light of this, ProLocums is entering Nigeria’s healthcare sector as a beacon of hope for healthcare professionals by connecting them with locum opportunities nationwide.
ProLocums plans to minimize healthcare practitioner unemployment and underemployment in Nigeria by providing a sustainable source of income.
Connectivity beyond immediate communities allows practitioners to operate in high-need locations.
The platform’s user-friendly interface makes locum opportunities easy to identify, allowing healthcare practitioners to focus on patient care.
The founder of ProLocums wants to close the healthcare staffing gap by providing better value to clients and a free, unparalleled service for healthcare professionals.
We are thrilled to offer ProLocums to the Nigerian healthcare community’, said ProLocums CEO Feyi Adeyemi, a healthcare practitioner.
The CEO said, “Our platform empowers healthcare professionals by providing convenient and efficient access to locum opportunities that align with their expertise and schedules.
