  2. The government should be careful about admitting students anyhow to study medicine. Medicine is a course that demands quality. You don't want to flood the system with quacks. You don't want to lower the standard. Also they have not addressed the quality of facilities in medical institutions to properly teach and accommodate these students. These students are going through a lot. Even residents doctors are going through a lot. Put proper things in place and they will not be struggling to japa in the first place. Doctors are sacrificing a lot and deserve to be well remunerated.

    1. Ndi apari, see how they reason.
      Why are our health personnel all running away?
      Ngwanu, go ahead. Lower admission requirements. Do crash program or sandwich program and see if, as halfbaked as they're going to turn out, whether they too will not attempt to run away even if it's to the nearest African country.
