Nigeria's Medical Association has rejected a decision by the government to invite Chinese doctors to help in its fight against coronavirus.
In a statement, the association said it was an "embarrassment" that it was not involved in the government's decision, adding that it knew of "a large pool of general medical and specialist practitioners who are either unemployed or underemployed" who could help in the crisis.
The statement went on to say the government should instead focus on remedying the lack of testing kits and facilities, as well as a shortage of protective equipment for the country's medical staff.
More than 200 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Nigeria so far.
