Nigeria has raised the retirement age for docs from 60 to 65 to handle extreme employees shortages in hospitals. The transfer comes as an rising variety of medical personnel depart the nation for better-paid jobs overseas, exacerbating the disaster. The World Well being Group recommends a doctor-to-patient ratio of 1 to six,000, however in Nigeria, it stands at 1 to 10,000.
