Word!!!
The solution to this crises is truly multi-factorial. I'd like to say that I am hopeful for positive change in the health space - but it still seems years away, at least in Nigeria!
The lack of political will for health care is stunting the growth of the nation. And, even worse - the depression it causes is driving many doctors to seek work elsewhere.
I am sure your friend would have been better appreciated in other places, for example.
However, on that dismal note, hope must remain and the few and increasingly fewer doctors left must do more than their quota in minimising the loss of our vulnerable ones.
