The epilepsy in the system of this nation calls for a
titanic cry, it is germane to weep for the hellish
display of our health sector or what then shall we say when those who we look up to as ambassadors become the murderer of the people. A sector established to save
lifes has change the motive of her establishment. The
government in her structure is disintegrated to hold
place to setter.
.
Apparently, many lifes has been in comatosed, some
been ruined are owed to the insouciant custom of the
shameless health sector, attitude elicited by this sector
daily aggravated into jeopardy affecting Nigeria
citizens in it's entirety.
.
I am appalled about my first experience when I
followed an ill brother of mine to a Nigeria renowned
hospital for treatment, my expectation could not be
well knitted as what I met was an open-sore or an
avoidable disdain. I had expected a first aid treatment
to save his life before the proper medication. To my
surprise the treatment of the dying patient was not
their priority, they demanded for a huge fee when much as evident is spent on the health sector annually. In the
face of this I was left with the rethorics of: Should this
(money) be priority over treatment? And why is it that
our medical practitioner are not compassionate?
.
Evidently, the plight we are tackling with in the health
sector eventuate from the fraternal Chief executive
officer of this nation, which is "corruption". Medical
practitioners disgracefully ride on the track of
corruption as corruption is not stealing from public
fund and loans but inability to be responsive, useful
and reproductive.
.
One major reason for this is the bad education of
specialist leading to the retrogressive position of this
sector. Many cosmetic personnel are not competent
and qualified to be accorded with medical degrees,
most of which did not did the cognitive aspect of
medication to affect lives. The set of people who
spent the larger days of their universities reading the
antidote or antibiotics of the health service. Quacks on
professional title who can't address the ill condition of
the health industry. Do we really expect salubrious
treatment from quacks? Those who cannot stand for
their profession and rally round a progressing for her
own people. Nigerian education only provides us with
celebrity like professor Isaac Adewole, who can spend
their age acquiring books and not recommendable
ideas. It can't be disputed if the country is rated in a
least list, suggestions like question should only be
asked. Suffocating questions like why do Botany,
Science Laboratory Technology, Nutrition and
Dieterary, etc live in our institutions.
.
Ill - trained doctors and nurses had gone ride and
ubiquitous in this sector, this problem also eventuated
from poor education because doctors does not has the
real experience of what they should put into practice
in the world of work. Nurses are also intrinsic for every
sane clinic. They play the crucial roles of staying the
patients 22hours of a day, reports are submitted to
doctors on the development and how the patients has
been responding to treatment. Why some are actively
dedicated, some nurses are not staunch in rendering
their service, situation occurs when one found nurses
sleeping on duty in their receptioning quarter. Nurses
are not only meant to the stretcher-bearer but also
closer to the needy as some in-depth knowledge on
prescription of medicine and other related register are
potent to be implored to the mode of their work.
.
It's a pity that most of the health architecture are not
mosquito free, coming from home patients aiming to
get a sound and healthy treatment from a serene
environment, while some thrive, many local hospital
stinks in abject backwardness.
.
Apparently, the nadir quota given to health sector from
the Nigeria budget is not encouraging, 7% is annually
allocated to nurture the health sector. There seems to
be null credibility in this. Nigerian government budget
millions of money to fight insurgencies, vandalism,
kidnapping and other breaking crisis. If at all we want
a progressing nation why do we allow public
education and public health retrogress, shrink and sink in the face of struggle brag.
Nigerian leaders cannot vouch of the health service
they render. They always assume that their ailment
cannot be treated in their own country, they are
desirous of flying abroad for solution to their health
problem. What is the essence of having UCH
(University College Hospital) when our leaders are also
dreadful of getting their treatment here. Let's recall
that during the illness of Late Nelson Mandela, he was
treated in his own country and not flown abroad. Until
we countermand the normal route of getting treatment
in overseas. Then the improvement we desirous to
have will surface.

Lastly, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO
Director General said and I quote "Health is human right. No one should get sick and die just because they are
poor, or because they cannot access the health services
they need". Free health care is our right, the impoverish are not to die only because they have no penny to treat
themselves, the aged, kids and widows must be given
special consideration, revive their hope.
If we fully intend to change the heartrending status of
the health sector, Nigeria at all level of government
needs to earmark more resources for the ailing health
sector of the country. A stitch in time save nine!
