Edo State Branch Chairman, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Prof Afekhide Omoti, has decried the alarming rate of brain drain in the health sector, particularly, amongst medical doctors, saying poor incentive and motivation had been identified as a key factor responsible.

Omoti who lamented the frequent disruption of services as a result of industrial actions by the various groups of healthcare professionals, also frowned at the unnecessary and unhealthy struggle for supremacy by various paramedical practitioners.
He appealed to the Edo State Government for the payment of competitive salaries to doctors in its employ when the New Central Hospital complex in Benin city, the state capital, became operational.
