The Bearded Dr Sina has explained how the disconnection of power by NLC is affecting healthcare delivery in Nigeria:

Let me give you an update of what is going on in Hospitals now due to the NLC shutting light and the strike

I got to work this morning.

First, The Electronic Medical Record was shut down which means we didn't have access to patients and what was done and cannot do anything.

Pharmacies and Laboratory cannot function because they run on light which means patients cannot get their medications and get there.
So we can't really say what's going on in the blood.

Patients that had stroke, infection of the chest and many Organ infection cannot get scans

Xrays, CT scans , Abdominopelvic Uss cannot function again because they run on light

Pending reports and patients that need urgent Radiology scans cannot get it. Their life hanging and Doctors not being sure of what exactly is going.

Many elective surgeries canceled. I doubt there is a chance for emergency surgery.

As All personnels aren't entirely available. No Light to power to the machines in theaters

Let me mention. Accident and Emergency was in stark darkness like when God hovered around the Earth.

Dialysis center can't function since it needs light.

People that have kidney problems and need urgent dialysis cannot have it. Those on the waiting list who came from home to get their sessions cannot get it

They'd have to go home and look for alternatives.

I can't comment on the Paediatrics but I'd wonder Don't incubators need light for the premature babies?

What is going to happen to those that need emergency procedures.

Imagine the amount of people that will die

Oh to mention, the food and dietetics department won't be supplying food to patients since they are also part of the strike.

The wards will get empty, patients have been told what's going on. They are sad.. they are crying

But our hands are tied. What can we do?

It is so sad that the government is quite insensitive to the plight of people.

See the ricochet effect of a day's strike, see how heavy the health sector is hit.

See how many innocent Nigerians will suffer and die.
Typing this with a heavy heart.

Nigeria is currently on a bicycle seat:
Any minimum wage less than 200k, is same old story;
Politicians be cashing out like no man’s business while the masses are patiently waiting for the right time to revolt “suffering and smiling” indeed

That's the ripple effect the strike will have on the general economy and healthcare

Has there ever been light b4?

BAT's incompetency is crumbling everything in the country ! The old dingbat should quit now that he still can !!!

Tinubu should bring back everything to where he met it..What of we that are not working? U can't even manage 500 per meal cos it won't do anything for ur body..In one area for kd,,na so people dey die everyday because of hunger n lack

I’m looking for a UI/UX designer.
I have a job for you……. Pls DM

If you know someone that’s really good at it, you can as well DM too so you can connect us

Nonsense. Which hospital in Nigeria has ever depended on Nepa? Every hospital has a generator, most even have inverters now.

This doctor is a slowpoke. I can understand the impact of no light in a developed nation, in this forsaken country, we have always provided our own alternative power.

The strike must go on. You can't be earning millions monthly while people can barely buy garri to eat. 60k is an insult to Nigerians, that's a mere $40, in a country where almost everything is imported.

You've saved billions by removing subsidy on fuel and electricity. Channel that savings to the welfare of citizens and not squander it.

Nigeria is truly a zoo, no doubt.

Which serious business individual depends on NEPA? Oga bearded, abegi go rest jor......

Tinubu legacy at play.
Attrocities of sadwest Ewedu munchers in Nigeria cannot be over emphasized.

Yaríbas are cursed.....I have given all of them quite notice in my house, I will leave only the one called Oyebanke Bashorun because she rides my cock every night, even though she's a dirty type

How is that even legal?



They need to have all the heads of labour arrested.

Sometimes I wonder if these people think at all, isn't it obvious it's this same masses that you're fighting for that will still bear the result of any senseless action of thiers?? If una like make una no get light, these politicians send una?

Cha!!!!!, Federal government of Nigeria why??

You guys run on diesel, the fight is for your patients to be able to afford your service

This government is really insensitive.

Alright

We’ve never had it this bad🤦‍♂️
I’ve never been a supporter or believer of Tinubu and his party but I didn’t imagine he’d perform this poor

if you are expecting anything good from tinubu na you sabi

Baba wan make every one poorer

So Hospitals no get Gen?

Mo6M:
Which serious business individual depends on NEPA? Oga bearded, abegi go rest jor......

small scale businesses rely on nepa.

How many small business owner can afford 600-1k for diesel or petrol?

Them nor get gen ni

It's a sad situation... The current government is insensitive

The only time APC takes an action that favors Nigerians is if they or their inner core member is are personally and thoroughly affected.
They have no care or passion for good governance.
They just want to be in power, have fun, and get rid of anyone who complains or tries to stop them.
They don't really care.
They Are Nigeria's big mistake.

This is really pathetic.

Nah, let people keep supporting nonsense. Shutting off the national grid is just a fucking dumb idea from a dumb labour leader.

Hmmm

Don't blackmail NLC
