Research Limitations: Data, like the exact number of health practitioners leaving the sending country is difficult to ascertain due to lack of available record online. Also, due to proximity between the researcher and respondents, it was difficult to get as many responses as possible even though the questionnaire would not take more than two minutes to fill.
Originality and value: Previous research on the Nigerian health sector is more focused on the public sector with less focus on the private sector. Hence, not much originality can be sited from the private health sector.
