What Health Sector Needs Is Privatization by waterhouse071(m): 8:00am On Jul 12, 2014 |
The lasting solution to the incessant tussle between doctors and other health workers will be the privatisation of the health sector in nigeria and financial empowerment of nigerians by NHIS, so that citizens are going to be capable of paying their health bills in the private hospitals. When this happens, the hospital owners( for example Dangote or Wale Adenuga not the government owning the teaching hospitals and tertiary medical centers) will know what to do so as to efficiently run the organisation. Then all hospital activities will be patient oriented. So, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon or endocrinologist will not have to fight the laboratory technichians, nurses or cleaners for anything because all health practitioners will know their respective importance in hospital which will adequately be compensated accordingly. Those that sacrifice their life to spend 6+X year as medical students and several years as resident doctors to become consultants will not have to go on strike because nurses feel doctors' salaries are too much. Then doctors will be happy to render their services and save lives. The hospital owners will also realise that the role of nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians who call themselves by various titles such as matrons, CNO are different from doctors, and that various fields have their limitations. GOD bless Nigeria |

chimoz: This your write up is one sided. Am a doctor but wouldn't like you been doctor biased when you want to write on the health sector conflict.Biased? Not at all. The function of the hospital is to care for the sick not for power struggle. As long as the government controls the health sector, this sacred function will never be achieved and the patients will continue to be at the receiving end of the strike actions. Even if the federal government grants the demand of the doctors, JOHESU will commence another strike and the patients will suffer more as the viciuos cycle of misplaced priority continues. Privatization is the way out. We all know that whatever sector Nigerian government run is usually a mess. When the government was in charge of the telecommunication sector, how many nigerians benefited from the services provided by NITEL? But when MTN and GLO got involved ALL nigerians (including villagers, farmer, market women) benefited irrespective of their social class. The same thing can happen in the health sector whereby ALL nigerians will have access to world class health serviced such as haemodyalisis, organ transplant, radiotherapy, CT and MRI scans, screening for cervical cancer,etc. When that time comes, our hospitals will serve their sacred and unique purpose of saving lives, then various health practitioners will focus on giving their respective best to those who the hospitals truely belong- THE PATIENTS. |
