The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), has raised the alarm over the imminent collapse of the Nigeria health sector, demanding an immediate declaration of a state of emergency on the sector.

At a press briefing addressed by the NMA, OYO BRANCH, the state chairman, Dr Ayotunde Fasunla maintained that there was the need for an urgent action to avert the looming danger of a total collapse of the sector.

He said the NMA may not be able to control or stop health workers especially medical doctors from seeking greener pastures outside the country.

Dr Fasunla pointed out that the NMA can only tasked all the tiers of government in the country to address the bureaucracy surrounding the employment of more hands to fill the vacuum already created in the health sector.
