Chairman of Oyo State chapter of the Nigeria Medical Association, Prof. Millicent Obajimi, has described the increasing cases of kidnapping of medical doctors in some parts of the country as one of the greatest challenges currently facing medical practice in Nigeria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obajimi disclosed this at a news conference heralding the NMA\u2019s annual delegate meeting\/annual general conference in Ibadan, the state capital, on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference tagged \u201cPrimary healthcare financing: A key to achieving millennium development goals\u201d expected to attract about 500 doctors across the country, is billed to commence in Ibadan on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from kidnapping, Obajimi listed another major challenge facing the association as the failure of some state governments, including that of Oyo State, to implement the Consolidated Medical Salary Structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said that the joy of the organisation was that a new government was coming on board in the state and expressed the hope that the new government would be a listening one.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said the delegate conference would, among other contemporary medical issues, discuss the National Health Bill just passed into law.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
