Doctors meeting at the National Health Conference last weekend voiced their concern over the unequal distribution of health workers across the country.

What you need to know:

  • Currently, according to doctors, there is a mismatch between the demand for medical personnel in the country’s needy areas and the number of the personnel who are distributed there. Yet, a number of health facilities still grapple with acute shortage while there is a high number of newly licensed doctors who are unemployed.
