To a great extent, this has led to the supplant of medical paternalism by patients’ autonomy in most developed countries. However, in these countries no deliberate attempt for strategic appraisal of doctors trained under the premedical law curriculum on their medico-legal and ethical responsibilities has been made. Presently, medical law and ethics as integral to medical training is at its embryonic stage in most developing countries, including Nigeria. Although entrants into medical school are the target, it is paramount to address the deficiency in the subject among doctors trained under the old curriculum, given that these doctors are currently the backbone of health services in these countries.

Purpose:To determine the health workforce information in relation to: current stock, distribution, production/supply, attrition, and HR management systems (HRM) in a resource-challenged state. Specific objectives are to determine availability and distribution of HRH; identify and describe HRH issues that will inform policy and priority interventions; the training needs of different cadres of health staff in the state health sector; and formulate recommendations on addressing identified HRH situation/needs in Kaduna State. Design/Method: A cross sectional study that used combined assessment methods comprising of quantitative and qualitative as well as desk reviews. Results: Decline in enrolment and graduation rates of potential health care workers in the face of increasing shortage of teachers,Ske...
