RE: Public vs. Private Healthcare in Nigeria: A Tale of Two Systems

in Hive Learners10 hours ago

Nigeria my country. Only God can help us.

I had similar experience with my younger brother too. It’s just a story so sad to tell. We went to a private hospital at first. But they actually did nothing. They were just charging and made the case even worse. The nurses were just dancing up and down. And the patient is at death point.

The case got even worse then when we brought him. When they shouted at the doctor the owner of the hospital later had to seek professional help from government hospital. then the doctor said if he send the night in that hospital we should say goodbye to him.

We got to the federal. And was attended to. He did the surgery, the next day doctors went on strike. That was when I knew Nigeria is not a country but a local government.

Only God helped us out. We later went to private hospital to finish up the surgery stitches. They worked on his skull for that matter.

So those rubbish politicians that go for treatment abroad, they are going to other country’s government hospital ooo. They can’t even use our private.
