They shld leave the body for them now, the bill is much, where do they
expect the parents to get the money from. The parents of the girl shld
leave the body for them there abeg.

CaptainAyub:

If let's say drug suppliers supplied drugs on credit to the hospital, and they used drugs worth 200k on the patient plus other expenses before the patient died,and they write it off for her and every other patient that dies,how will the hospital pay back the pharmaceutical companies who supplied drugs to them?
How will they restock their pharmacy so that the next incoming patient will be attended to immediately?
When the next patient comes and the hospital tells them to go and buy their drugs outside that it is out of stock,same you will complain.

Guyman01:
They can open a Go Fund Me account so that people can contribute and help the grieving family. The hospital is not a charity organisation, if everyone reading this sends N500 that N400k can be raised in 30 minutes

ManirBK:
I weep for my country. Money has become more valuable than human
life.

Cutehector:
my dear. I was just walking on the road and pondering on if all these things we value will matter when we die.

Hmmm I lost my wife giving birth on the same month before I move her corps I had to pay all the remaining bills she died in the afternoon I had to carry her at night cos I had to go look for money it’s 2months today i still carry the pain with me naija na hell

joyandfaith:
Because there is no clinical audit, hospital might have contributed to her death. Most hospitals don't do clinical audit and autopsy. Even if she dies due to complications of treatment or disease, it think there should be some waiver in this kind of situation. Social workers should verify the claim of the parents concerning their financial status. If family refuses to claim the body due to financial constraints, hospital would keep on managing the corpse in mortuary for months even years and family can sue the hospital if mass burial is performed on her.

TONYE001:


Death while receiving treatment in the hospital is an indication for conducting an autopsy. I wonder why this is not in practice. We are only taught these things in medical schools, but in our environment, due to religious, ethnical, and financial factors, autopsies are hardly done. Ideally, in medico-legal cases, the state should sponsor the postmortem; it shouldn't be the responsibility of the patient relatives.

Because postmortems are hardly done, the causes of death in our facilities are difficult to objectively determine. As a result, caregivers are do not learn from past mistakes, they are not held responsible, and the patient relatives do not have a definitive closure.

There is trully a need to revamp our country's health sector (essentially, all sectors in this country needs this).

ManirBK:
this thing a big problem now in Nigeria o and calls for urgent attention.
You take a person to the hospital and at the end you lost the person,I
think the hospital should take small responsibility. They can at lease
reduce the price, you can not lose life and money all alone now.
Unless if their is something you should do that you did not and led to
the demise of the person. And in some cases people don't have money
to take care while the person is a life,where will they get money now
that the person is dead. This matter needs attention o.

TONYE001:


If people continue to receive treatment without paying, how would our hospitals be managed?
