Nigerian surgical training faces challenges with rising noncommunicable diseases and infectious diseases. Enhancing training programs and surgeon working conditions is crucial for retaining local talent and improving surgical outcomes in resource-poor settings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Global Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Nigeria faces a dual burden of increasing noncommunicable diseases and persistent infectious diseases.
  • The demand for surgical intervention in managing these conditions is rising in Nigeria.
  • Existing surgical training programs in Nigeria are challenged by low examination success rates and brain drain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges in Nigerian surgical training and practice.
  • To explore modifications needed for surgical training programs.
  • To highlight strategies for retaining surgical talent within Nigeria.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the current state of surgical training and practice in Nigeria.
  • Identification of factors contributing to low success rates and talent attrition.

  • Discussion of necessary improvements in training curricula and working conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Nigerian surgeons are capable of managing the evolving disease spectrum.
    • Low diploma examination pass rates and emigration of skilled surgeons are significant issues.
    • Improved working environments and tailored training are needed to retain talent.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical training in Nigeria requires modification to meet current health challenges.
    • Addressing working conditions is essential to reduce the loss of local surgical talent.
    • Relevant, low-tech research is feasible and necessary in resource-limited settings.
