The Nigeria Medical Association, Akwa Ibom State chapter, has decried the shortage of medical personnel in the state.
The NMA urged the state government to deliberately establish at least seven medical training institutions to address the growing workforce gap.
The association’s chairman, Prof. Aniekan Peter, raised the concern while briefing journalists in Uyo on Tuesday as part of activities marking the association’s Annual General Meeting and Scientific Conference.
He lamented that the state had consistently failed to meet its employment targets for medical workers, stressing that urgent measures were needed to bridge the shortfall.
