Overworked and Undervalued: The Mental Health Crisis Among Nigeria's Healthcare Workers


Nigeria's healthcare workers are battling a silent epidemic of burnout, with grueling working conditions pushing many to their breaking point.


The Perfect Storm

Endless Shifts: Doctors and nurses regularly work 24-48 hour shifts, with some reporting 72-hour marathons


Dangerous Staffing: A single doctor often attends to 50+ patients in public hospitals


Third-World Conditions: Broken equipment, no running water, and erratic power supply compound the stress


Poverty Wages: Many earn less than $180 monthly despite life-and-death responsibilities


The Human Toll

The consequences are devastating:

- 68% show symptoms of clinical depression (NMA 2023 survey)

- Medical errors increase due to exhaustion

- Mass exodus of professionals abroad worsens staffing


A System in Critical Condition What Can Be Done?

Institutional Support:  Hospitals must enforce reasonable work hours and provide counseling services. Provide basic working amenities in all facilities


Peer Support Networks:  Doctors need safe spaces to share struggles without judgment.


Policy Changes: Better pay (Immediately increase salaries to match inflation) , improved facilities, and mental health awareness programs are crucial.


Breaking the Silence

The bitter truth? We're losing our best healthcare professionals daily - to burnout, brain drain, or breakdowns.

Doctors care for others but often neglect themselves. Addressing burnout isn’t a luxury—it’s necessary for a healthier healthcare system. If you’re a doctor struggling, know that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.


How I improved the response

The initial blog post was too generic, I wanted to ensure it specifically addressed certain key aspects in this discussion.
