Minister gets report on restructuring Residency Training

The Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has received a report on restructuring Residency Training Progamme from the Ministerial Committee set up to appraise the previous committee’s reports on the programme. The committee was also given the task of recommending sustainable uniform Residency Training Programe in Nigeria, when it was inuagurated in May, this year. The report was presented by the Registrar, National Post Graduate Medical College of Nigeria, Prof. Wole Atoyebi, who chaired the committee. Receiving the report, Adewole thanked the members of the committee for producing a document that would be a panacea to residency Training challenges in the health sector. He assured that the Ministry of Health would review the recommendations and take appropriate decision. ”We will make copies and circulate them so that those who want to make comments can put them across. I can assure you that by next week, we would take decision on it. It is not something that will waste away, it will also not gather dust. We are under pressure, but we also have responsibility for the future of the health system..” Source: The Nation
