...and if the hospital had refused treatment without payment, we'll all be shouting as well. It's a failed system and I pray we never fall victim. Ordinarily Nigerians are supposed to have access to free qualitative healthcare. Sad for the hospital because keeping the body will only rack up more costs. They should release the body and follow the father legally but how much will they even get from him? They should just let the matter slide abeg, Government should handle what's left |

Dalnadoni: Una don come again. Walk into a hospital abroad and don't provide your insurance and you'll be shipped out so fast you won't believe it. What you see on TV isn't the reality. Even insurance doesn't cover some cases that are life threatening so stop saying abroad abroad like we don't know what goes on there. Why do you think the obamacare bill was praised heavily in the US then. Even many Americans couldn't afford healthier or the insurance before the bill was passed. |

Dalnadoni:I live in USA and healthcare is 100 times more expensive and more difficult to access here, I always laugh when I see you ignorant Nigerians dat has never crossed international borders always assuming shit you don't know nothing about . Come to Dallas and go to hospital and refuse to pay if you no go grow for jail. If you like live or die you will pay, even non invasive surgeries here can cost you over $20k not to talk of Cancer, kidney transplant,brain surgery that can run you into $200k easy. A trip to the ER here ranges for $2k upward to just get emergency response,even the ambulance go charge you for the ride. Next time abeg don't say what you don't know 4 Likes 1 Share |

Odingaoz:Listen carefully bros,if you don't pay your bills here there are not releasing any corpse to you if you like cry from morning to evening, if you like get hit by a train if you don't have insurance to cover your bills you pay cash or die jejely. You lots just assume like we live in heaven here abi. Your Normal fever check up and x-rays that cos like 10k in naija starts from $700 upwards here, that's around 300k isn't it. Unless you're a rich dude, if you're minimum wage worker here earning by the hour, if you're not on the point of death you don't call emergency services because na gbese. So you guys have it lucky over there 3 Likes 1 Share |

Odingaoz:If it's a private hospital no one will attend to you if you don't meet Their payment obligations,look here no one gives a rat ass if you die here,even gunshots victims get turned away if you Don't meet the hospital obligations.

Dalnadoni:Like I said don't just assume things,real life isn't the Hollywood y'all see on TV, tens of thousands of people die here yearly because they can't afford medical care, that's the way of the world, it's not peculiar to naija alone and Nigerians has far more easy access to hospitals than us here, it's not even comparable.

In the USA, you can donate the dead body, which will be used for experiments, if you cannot pay the bills... "People who can't afford those services are left with the cheapest option: cremating their loved one's remains and leaving it to a funeral home to dispose of them. Others may simply abandon relatives' remains altogether, leaving it to coroners and funeral homes to pay for cremation and disposal" https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna960746 |

Those saying to leave it for them, consider that many of these parents keep a child at home and try all sorts of herbal and "spiritual" remedies. When the condition becomes very dire they rush the kid to a hospital and expect us to perform miracles. In some cases the child dies and you expect the hospital to bear part of the responsibility for a parents negligence? Reason am. Reason am bros if na you get shop ManirBK: |

Bless you boss. People no know say health no cheap. The price of every other thing is rising but they expect the price of healthcare to stay the same. Its not unique to Nigeria. Healthcare is even really cheap here compared to america. There if you no get insurance no just reason go hospital. And you have to call to book an appointment unless its an emergency. shogsman: 1 Like |

Richymeka:I remember when I first got here and sprained my ankle cos I want to form woke and try skating. I had a bad fall ,if it was in naija I'd have just drove or take bike or taxi to the hospital,get an x-ray and they'll fix it in no Time. Poor stupid me called 911 and they came and took me to the closest hospital o, I got an x-ray and they gave me the usual anesthesia and within 10minute they fix my leg. They gave me Xanax for the pain I was discharged 30minutes later, the admin woman came and gave me the invoice, that was the first time I missed Nigeria and I almost cried, it was $1450 for some 20minute fix , back in naija I had NHS for hospital I only pay 10% of my medical bills. Back in the days our minimum paycheck was still around $10by the hour That was how a little fall cost me almost my monthly paycheck. When I got home and complained to my neighbor,they blamed me and said I shouldn't have called the ambulance and should have just came home so they'll just stretch the leg back for me. My former boss had a brain surgery for aneurism,he paid $140,000 , that's like 90million o 1 Like |
