Rural Practice: The Nigerian Experience

  • Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti

Abstract

Twenty years ago, doctors in Nigeria were berated for failing to serve in the rural areas. Studies, however, showed that they were willing to work anywhere in the nation, as long as they were placed in situations where they could use their skills, live fairly comfortably and where they were able to rear their children.
