Key Takeaways:

1. Nigeria has a shortage of medical professionals because they are not well-compensated. The lack of compensation compels doctors to move to other areas, which include the United Kingdom and the United States. 

2. In an average medical school class in Nigeria, 70% of graduates will move to other parts of the world where their skills are more valued. 

3. Because of the lack of modern medical equipment and government policies that encourage public health initiatives, Nigeria has expedited the use of technology in its healthcare system.
