Description
In this bonus talk episode, Chinazom Ngini (assistant producer) and Mariam Adetona (medical fact checker) from this season join the conversation on healthcare access for LGBTQ+ Nigerians. The discussion delves into the challenges of navigating healthcare in Nigeria and the future of medical practice in the country, considering the ongoing brain drain of professionals, particularly among young health professionals who may hold more liberal or less conservative views compared to previous generations. Hosted by Todah Opeyemi, the conversation also explores the proposal by Nigerian lawmakers for a compulsory 5-year practice requirement for doctors before they can travel abroad. What lies ahead for the future? And what actions can be taken to address these issues?
