Doctors recruited from some of the world’s poorest countries to work in UK hospitals say they’re being exploited and believe they’re so overworked they fear putting patients’ health at risk.
A joint investigation by BBC Newsnight and File on 4 has found evidence that doctors from Nigeria are being recruited by a British healthcare company and expected to work in private hospitals under conditions not allowed in the National Health Service.
The British Medical Association (BMA) has described the situation as “shocking” and says that the sector needs to be brought in line with working practises in the NHS.
BAFTA winning journalist Paul Kenyon reports.

It is shameful for the UK to allow intermediaries to exploit foreign doctors like this. Perhaps the UK is slowly becoming a third world country. Sadly, these doctors don't have a chance in their own country. The company who hired them and collected enormous fees and probably the bulk of the wages paid by the hospital should be sued and made to pay. And the executives should be in jail.

It is not that these doctors don't have a chance in Nigeria, but rather it is that Government after Government in Nigeria invest so little into the health care in Nigeria, while the Nigerian politicians go to London for treatment spending so much on themselves.

Nigerian Doctors are extremely hardworking. Unfortunately, they are underpaid and sometimes go without pay for months, which results in them going on strikes. I make bold to say the Nigerian government is the sole reason doctors in their country are migrating and will continue to migrate. The Nigerian government doesn't seem to care about Health care and the citizens. If I were a Dr, I'll pick moving to another country, getting over worked but receiving my salary when due, over being over worked in my own country and receiving little or no salary. P.S- I don't think it really bothers the Nigerian government that doctors are migrating. Most if not all governors, senators, high ranking government officials and even the president himself, travel to the US, the UK and other European countries to get medical care when they fall ill. They get treated by same doctors who left 🤷.

Look at the narrative the international media shows about Nigeria and Africa at large. Makoko is a tiny community in Lagos and the projection would seem as if every one lived in these conditions. Most of the people migrating to the UK spend between 10k-£20k pounds to relocate. So do you think someone that pays that much would be living in such conditions. Most of these people leaving Nigeria live in proper housing even better than the shoe boxes they move to in the UK. BBC please show a balanced narrative and please not everyone wants to escape.

@@ugochiukeje3878 there's a difference between being poor in the UK and poor in Africa. Most poor people in the UK don't own land unlike the average Nigerian Poor (42%) who does own land in rural areas even when living in urban informal settlements in big cities. The Nigerian poor can live on less money than an average citizen in the UK because they are more self sufficient. This is not excusing the government's responsibility to provide services to the people, but simply saying dispite the challenges, the poor in Nigeria own much more than the poor in the UK. Secondly, many African countries are still in their urbanization phase. Many of the people living in informal settlements are people who have recently moved to the city with little skills, not people who have been living there for centuries. They work their way up, build their rural home (where they come from), as well as their new urban home. This takes time. They then move out of the slam and someone else replaces them. It's unfair to compare the people who are in transition in developing nations with the wealthiest in developed nations. Which is what the BBC is doing here... Showing Makoko when it comes to Nigeria alongside the best the UK has to offer which only the top 10% of their nation can afford. This is a wrong depiction and they do this in every Sub-Saharan country. It's the 21st century, we Africans demand better. I know many people from my country who moved to the UK and are now back because they thought that the quality of life would be better there due to misinformation spread by organisation's like the BBC. Many sold everything for a dream which would never come true. Love from S. Africa.

In the U.S., the AMA just LOVES to recruit foreign- trained doctors, we have a lot of doctors here who got their MD's in India and Pakistan. When these doctors arrive in the U.S., they are on a probationary period before they can obtain their AMA board certification, the AMA certification is what gives these foreign- trained doctors the autonomy to set up a private practice, or to even have a choice as to which medical facility they will work for. This probationary period effectively turns the recently arrived doctors into virtual slaves of whichever medical agency that they are employed by. Say for example the probie's boss tells them to overdose a difficult patient to death, the probie is forced to comply, in fear of getting a bad writeup, which could delay or cancel their board certification application. The AMA is a borderline criminal organization. A lot of the reason for this is due to the immense size of the U.S.'s Medicaid and Medicare fund, which I believe is in the trillions of dollars. That much money is a magnet for corruption and fraud.

But that is something that you guys have to go through though. And then you need to also offer things like abortions as well. And create THE eventual healthcare system for your society? Why are people not doing this kind of empire building business. On the one hand, I hear a lot of "social media" accusations from Africans... as a Brit... I continue to hear all of this "racism" issue. But... don't you care beyond your own family and how they will fair ? Life is not equal.. even when I was growing up, I knew that. But... it does not mean that, it HAS to get worst. Does it? There is actually enough people in the UK for the NHS. We just are playing cold shoulder games, right now. Which is bureacracies. And then, because people are not playing balls...we are now doing things like refugee healthcare.. more like UN level work. Which is NOT right ! I tend to try and keep myself healthy.. but by no means, should we lose our talents. A lot of people have left the UK, and gone onto other countries like the ex-commonwealths as well. Or even from Europe, they come and then they go. Even despite holding them to account, and locking them down, they want more money. SO... when will things change ??? Is it fair that, "you were raised in a good health care systems, only for the next generation NOT to receive this same standard?"..... Some countries like Singapore, now does DNA healthcare already. It is already "the end"... cos people take care of what they eat and drink, and how to keep well. There is no need for these kind of doctors on basic things any more. Don't you realise that your market is in Africa ? Your assumption is that, your industry will never be disrupted. But to any working professionals, we know that, they know that, each sector will change and reform. So why don't you continue and be the value adder to your own country, rather than to seek things this way? As much as everybody has access to the GLOBAL internet... Did you not think that there were people BEFORE you, who have "been there, done that" ??? I know a lot of people in the UK working for the NHS. Either family friends as well as retired doctors too. Most just either go abroad, once they are done here. I know one went to Dubai.. but now he came back. Cos it did not work out. But if you are able to be the MANAGEMENT level... to change the course of destiny of your own country, why would you now accept this is your eventual path??? I don't get it. A lot of doctors in the UK also quit to work in the pharma sector to add values also to their researches too. Which is what happened. But by no means does it mean that, we do not have enough doctors. We do. These companies, are basically playing politics.. and want to force the sector to go down the insurance routes! We KNEW this... And this is why people protests on the streets of London and whatnots !!!!! Please know that, this is all just a game. Everybody KNOWS what is happening.. especially those of us who stayed and worked for like 20-30 odd years... we know.

Tone used in this report sounds condescending towards doctors from Nigeria by repeatedly mentioning this is a red list country. The PLAB exam organised by GMC in my opinion is a good way for doctors from abroad coming to the UK, get trained, and provide valuable services to British public if they choose to work here or people of their own country if they go back. PLAB test is a way to certify doctors who are trained abroad, that they are good enough to receive further training in the UK. This is equivalent to the USMLE of the USA. The way this report presented PLAB (as well as GMC) as if this is something bad. Think for a second, if there is no such exams to identify which doctors trained outside of UK are good enough and maintains certain standard to come over here and receive further training, the recruitment of doctors from outside UK could be even more chaotic.

@@contemplatinggod2791 there's also another deep rooted problem and this comes from colonialism, the Europeans drew the borders of today's African nations in a very artificial way as a way to keep divisions within African tribes, most African countries today have more than two or three tribes within a country and this has led to constant infighting and division within these countries, and when you have a country divided, it's very easy for leaders to exploit the populations after all if a leader is from tribe A, he won't care much about stealing funds that would have built a hospital in the region inhabited by tribe B or tribe C and so on, after all, deep inside their not his people. This results in the citizens themselves becoming corrupt and never united which in turn leads to every man for himself and the brightest emigrating to greener pastures.

So the problem is far more deeper reaching than just an exploitation of people of any one ethnicity... people in power are almost always corrupt and we need to do something about that issue first.

As a Nigerian, the work environment, the health care system where you have to improvise to perform basic procedures, the very poor funding and loads of other problems is the main reason why most professionals are leaving. It might be right however to say they are being exploited because of the situation in their home countries (which is usually the case with most international recruitments anyways). But putting the blame entirely on the recruiters and or the UK government isn't right in my opinion because most of these professionals are personally looking for ways out of the country.

Here's a proposed solution. Allow Nigerians and other foreigners to go to the UK to be trained as doctors. Improve their work conditions so they can actually be rested enough to treat patients effectively. Have some contract with the foreign country that the doctors they are bringing to the UK will be on a contract post medical school to work for UK hospitals for X amount of years. After which, they can continue to work in the UK or they can go back to their countries to treat patients there. This seems like win situation for everyone involved. Patients get treated better on average because their doctors won't be exhausted. Prospective doctors have better work conditions, the opportunity to pursue medicine, and the opportunity to one day go back and help their home country. The UK wins because they can continue to bring in doctors from overseas without as much of the financial burden that it would cost to raise home grown doctors

The problem also involves mistakes in written notes about diagnosis and treatment that offer risk to patients. The UK cannot afford medical care on the cheap from lands that are in more need of their own medical staff. For far too long UK governments have been failing their own people via the inadequate recruitment and training from and of of its own population.

So without any ado , may I be allowed to say that if this true , then it is nothing but disgraceful and should not be allowed to continue. In fact , may I go further and suggest that perhaps the Monarch and family could lead from the front on this one and appoint a number of these doctors into the position of being their physicians ? The RF are huge supporters of diversity and the African commonwealth nations , so it would not only be appropriate but demonstrate that support and of course , immense gratitude for their skills , learning and expertise.
