Chinedu Moghalu discusses Nigeria's new policy on working hours and locum employment, as outlined in the National Health Service Regulatory and Inspection Initiative (NHSRII). The policy aims to ensure that doctors finish a call, hand over, and go home knowing a rested colleague has taken over. It also requires locum doctors to have clear contracts, regular pay, and an end to temporary status. The policy seeks to ensure patients are treated by a properly staffed team, not one that is overworked.
