I actually wanted to mention that aspect of NYSC but then, it's not as if anyone forced you guys to study medicine or did they? 🤣
Well, that's on a lighter note. The thing is, I have heard cases of many people dying at the healthcare center here in my school and it's really sad that most of the best doctors Nigeria has produced came from this school too. Personally for me, if as an employer I find out that the school you graduated from as a doctor has a quack health care center, I will rethink having you in my hospital.
The idea is, as a doctor, your major aim should be to save lives but these days, it's for another reason and that alone is scary. But then, I blame the system more because it played a major role in this.
Thank you for your contribution. I know it is a suggestion that will require some other aspects to be addressed first before it can work well.
The thing is that these ideas as beautiful as they may be feels so distant for real because in as much as the main purpose should be to save lives, doctors aren't paid an ideal amount
A country that pays politicians and many others professions more than the so called profession saving lives... Nah! It's not even comparison but let's just say any country paying these doctors below what can sustain them obviously leaves them to cater for themselves
These same doctors that work nonchalantly at school centres own private hospitals where their patients receive top care treatments whenever they come and can you blame them? No one jokes with whatever feeds him and if you can't feed the doctors at places you employed them, they will scavenge around elsewhere.
It's painful and it's more painful that the solutions aren't even around 😢
I can't even write my post in response to this now with this rage for real! It'll just be an endless posts because believe me! As someone in the system, I'm not even happy at all
Hehe, I know all of these things and it’s obvious how much the whole system has failed, beginning from the simplest unit which is the family.
It’s sad that our doctors and health professionals are not paid just enough to help them survive and that has directly affected the whole health system.
You shouldn’t back out on making your suggestions, you have to and I’m sure that even as you do it, you will figure our some ways you as someone in the field can do better and also encourage your colleagues too.
It’s definitely not an easy process but then, if you give up on it, I give up too, then it means we are accepting what we have now as the new norm. Someone once said that, what you are not changing, you are accepting and it’s the reality of so many countries today, particularly Nigeria.
Not that I don't know that, it's just that Nigeria is filled up with people who just don't want to change at all... People who aren't devoid of ideas but just fails to implement any
It's sad
