![]() ![]() It is the biggest confirmation of the failure of Physicians in the running of the public hospital system in Nigeria. “Privatisation calls to question the integrity of the management of the FHIs dominated by Physicians since the advent of the Teaching Hospital Act of 1985. As stronger institutions outlive the weaker ones which further limits the availability and choices of the citizens, the monopolistic tendencies of formidable profiteers play out at the detriment of consumers of health. ‘In the proposed privatisation and concession models, the Government’s role is largely regulatory, which is at the same cost of owning the FHI. Patient-care-centered services cannot be the hallmark of concessions and privatisation because profit is the watchword. “Equity and accessibility rather than efficiency and profitability should be the benchmark to measure performance in healthcare. High charges generate crazy profits at the detriment of efficiency, which ultimately defeats the goal of accessibility to health facilities in real terms because health cannot be delivered to vulnerable groups. It follows that a monopoly that comes with exploitation becomes the order of the day. The letter further reads, “In view of the monopolistic nature of health systems because of the inelastic nature of their demands, there is little or no probability of competitiveness. JOHESU listed the consequences of concessions, privatisation, and outsourcing saying that it does not promote Universal Health Coverage, but would lead to inequity and accessibility rather than efficiency and profitability. Privatising FHIs, Against Healthcare Equity, Accessibility “Private profiteers will naturally get rid of the block of health professionals whose wages consume 60 percent of the personnel cost of the entire health workforce in FHIs even when they constitute less than 20 percent of the entire personnel in the health sector,” it added. We must seize the discourse to advise other health professionals who have been promised that the concession of these facilities will not affect them to be wary and discern wisely. ![]() “We therefore strongly urge the Federal Government not to contemplate the privatisation of Teaching Hospital facilities to private profiteers. Today, that facility is a shadow of itself, as it has become inaccessible to a wide range of consumers of health in the Abuja area.

The group pleaded with well-meaning Nigerians to take action and prevent the Federal Government from privatising the FHIs. It warned other medical professionals who have been assured that the sale of the facilities won’t affect them are advised to apply caution and good judgment.Įlaborating, JOHESU said that despite constituting 20 percent of the total workforce in the sector, it is certain that private profiteers will fire them in view of reducing overhead costs.Īccording to JOHESU and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Association (AHPA), those advocating for concessionaires are avaricious and would increase the healthcare problem and indexes. ![]() JOHESU insisted that the sales of Federal Health Institutions (FHI) is not in the interest of 20 percent of the sector’s workforce whose salaries represent 60 percent of the personnel costs of the entire health workforce in FHIs.
