Hillary Clinton threw an embolus few years ago and was treated and she was fine to contest for POTUS last year. Anybody that throws an embolus in Nigeria DIES!

People have stroke in SA and become almost as fine after treatment. In Nigeria, stroke patients die or are permanently disfigured in most cases, because, ordinary CT scan is not available in many places and when found, an average citizen cannot afford it. Health care providers are left to do trial and error as done by Hippocrates in 400BC.

NIGERIA IS FAILED AND UNDER A CURSE

BULLSHIT!!!

I am strongly inclined to believe that the government is telling a huge lie.

1- Medical visas from India do not take that long.
2- No south-African hospital would deny a patient based on the fact that he is a foreigner.

The government did not do their due diligence and made excuses till this man died.
His life is not worth spending money on.


Even if the Governor disbursed money, the money was embezzled and then excuses were made until this man died.

Where are the supporting documents that they made this efforts? Where is his passport?? What about other countries?
You can get an England Visa the same day if its a medical emergency.
You can get a US visa within a week if its a medical emergency.
You can fly without visa to neighbouring African countries with better medical facilities.
me sef i surprise wen op post said "2 months for indias medical visa"... dat one na bullshit why is it then a medical visa?

Stupid post.
Why are you blaming South Africa,
Why not equipped Nigeria hospital to be able to cope with this type of situation.
Is it not shameful that Nigeria govt is begging another African country who got independence couples of year ago for medical facilities despite the fact that we got our independence before them.
Moreover if it's the governor son he Would find a way of fast tracking the case and fly his son to America or London.
So blame Nigeria govt and the governor.

As an intern pharmacist at Orthopedic Hospital, Enugu, I saw worse cases of burns managed successful in the hospital. When an explosion occurred in a brewery in Umuahia some years ago, the many badly burnt patients were successfully managed in Enugu. Except there is more to the pictures of patient or the Orthopedic Hospital in Enugu is no longer what it was 15 years ago, my take is that should have taken him to Enugu

Hi Nairalanders!

There is no reason why the governor shouldn't be seeing him in a specialist hospital in his own state rather than attempting to ship him off.When will Nigerian's stop accepting sub-par medicorcity from our "leaders"?!
I made a video in regards to Nigeria's current landscape.It"s a video on restructuring the nation and why it's resurging now. I hope to borrow a few minutes of your attention watching it please smiley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7SKI7vL7SY . I address how we got here and what's wrong with the Nation at this point in time.

Read the press statement by the Cross River state government following the death of a victim of the football viewing centre tragedy in Calabar, Mr. Ferdinand Anok.

Following His Excellency, Governor Ben Ayade's approval to take one of the victims of the football viewing centre tragedy, Mr. Ferdinand Anok abroad for further treatment, the Cross River State Ministry of Health contacted a hospital in South Africa (Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Soweto).

The hospital instructed that the state government should make a deposit before they can process a letter of acceptance for Mr. Anok's visa approval.

The state government duly acceded to the request and deposited the required amount. Shockingly, after the payment had been made the hospital management rejected Mr. Anok saying they do not accept foreigners in their facility. A clear case of xenophobia.

Following this development, the state government communicated with International SOS who in turn linked the government with several specialist hospitals abroad with capacity to manage the degree of burns Mr. Anok suffered and of which hospitals in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and India indicated interest in his management.

Apollo Hospital, India was the first to send in a letter accepting to manage him. Following this the government took Mr. Anok to the Indian embassy to get a visa where three days were spent trying to regularise documents due to the peculiarity of the case.

It was a Herculean task getting him on board the aircraft because of the degree of burns.

It took almost two months for Mr. Anok's international passport to be returned from the Indian embassy and in between government was in constant communication with them.

By the time the visa was ready his case had deteriorated, despite constant optimal specialist care, including multiple surgeries, debridement, fasciotomy and colostomy in UCTH Calabar and General hospital Calabar.

Doctors were preparing him for fitness to travel before he drifted into a comatose state. Sadly, all attempts to improve his Glasgow Coma Scale proved abortive and he finally passed on.


Signed
Christian Ita
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ayade
