More workers should be employed

even if more workers were employed do they have the discpline and experience is the question. all this is happening because the brilliant minds are travelling abroad to practice their skills where they are appreciated. Nigeria is currently experiencing brain drain because our useless politicians dont value people at all.

To those encouraging the medical brain drain, hope you or your family members don't have a medical issue.
Government is the biggest culprit on this matter.

After the declaration of state of emergency in the agricultural sector, our health sector needs such immediate attention.

I was in a public health center in the federal capital territory and my experience was not good.

First is the attitude of the health workers. These people need to be given orientation on how to relate with people. They insult patients, very rude and lack empathy.

Secondly, my perspective changed when I see the level of work these guys were handling. A single doctor on call attending to 83 patients! The doctors and nurses are obviously worn out, hence their attitude ( not a justification though)

I sheded tears for 3 children brought in but could not get the attention of the doctor because she was clearly tired and completely worn out. She was the only one in the entire Emergency Paediatric Unit (EPU).

I then saw why most of my doctor friends left the country.

If you're healthy, you don't know what God is doing for you.

More health workers are urgently needed but I was informed that no new doctors were employed in the last few years back despite the departure of most consultants from the country.

Pray you don't fall sick!

It would baffle you when you check payroll for that hospital and you see lots of doctors collecting salaries,but they only work in their private hospitals

May God Grant Us Good Health in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen

Every Sector is rotten cos the people occupying the space are also rotten.

youre not making any sense at all. so they should stay in a country that pays them peanuts and still take them for granted? this your comment no follow at all.

Nigeria under APC is nothing to write home about

Meanwhile Tinubu will go chill in France where he gets all d attention same with Buhari going to UK then.

Our mumu no too much pass anything! Chai

We have demons in human form as rulers.

The best prayer we all need to be praying in this country is for God to bless us to be able to afford good private hospitals when in need of medical attention. Our government hospitals are nothing but places where human beings are left to die when sick. Years back, I lost my mum and a son due to bad medical services being provided in nigerian public hospitals. Thereafter, i vowed never to allow any body i know to go to government hospital when they fall sick because if they go,you can never guarantee that they will come back alive.

That is why i dont get bothered when those useless government doctors go on strike becuase even when they are not on strike, all they do is to kill patients in their hospitals.

The doctors that left aren't being replaced yet the NUC allow some govt funded schools maintain useless departments when health scientists are needed at tenfold the current rate. No planning whatsoever. I saw a video about Germany needing 40,000 skilled workers every year in the years ahead to close the gap of their dwindling workforce. They know their education system is expensive and so look towards Africa but over here we pretend as if our mini medical science department are adequate for us. SMH.

Forget it,most of their nurses are coded olosh0..them dey f**k patients wey bring money

Then ignore it and if you can't ignore it go and hug a transformer.

If you have any Mission Hospital around you I think it's better although it may cost more than government hospital. What I mean by mission hospital is those hospitals owned by Catholic church or any other church.

I used to have that thought that they provide cheaper treatment until I discovered recently it cost more.

Someone close to me was asked to come back for a surgical operation in six months due to the waiting list of people for the operation. Six months arrived, operation was extended another six months due to waiting list. I advised private hospital. New tests were conducted at cheaper costs and surgical operation at the private hospital was just a little more than half the price of state teaching hospital visited before

Not that government is not subsidising to make it cheaper,but over 90% of the staffs are involved in this racketeering.

It is not a racket.

In developed countries, a common phenonenom with hospital operations are long waiting lists at government run hospitals FOR non-emergency operations. Because health care is cheaper, the waiting list is longer. They too have the option of going private, but that is very very expensive (especially in the USA).

As an insider, I am surprised it is happening in Nigeria, but at the same time, it is to be expected.

It is because of the cheaper cost of care in government hospitals, that the waiting list is longer. People go to where it is cheaper (With the removal of subsides on petrol, queus at NNPC stations which sell fuel cheaper slightly are longer than private stations).

Those SELF SERVING CROOKS within the corridors of power don't give a damn cos they ARE SERIAL, UNREPENTANT, FOREIGN MEDICAL TOURIST!... even for the treatment of common headache / ear infections

Until dedicated, TRUE PATRIOTS assumes leadership positions, the shyyythole remains doomed! 😕

I would rather visits native doctors since there are lesser medical doctors available, whether native doctor abi medical doctor all of dem nah doctor...

you cant say rubbish about how people choose to practice their career lives and expect people to ignore.Thats insensitive. You shut up if youre not putting food on their table. When youve stopped living under your fathers roof typing nonsense you will get the point.

If you know how much the CMD and Management of that hospital have stolen. You will be shocked and you will have a rethink.

Where is Dr. Ngige who informed us that we have enough doctors and most of them could japa

The reality is that condition of service is very poor, I know my skill sets in Clinical Child Psychology is needed direly in Nigeria but I can't imagine myself working in Nigeria......pay is poor, facilities below standards until I decide to open my own facility and the truth is, it is going to be high end which majority can not afford because it is very expensive to set up, setting up a world class sensory room for autistic children will cost nothing less than N25m, so you can imagine how much a child would be charged per hour in it.

Even if you bring in God himself, the issue is care in most hospitals is subsidised...which in turn brings about the problem of funding.

Because government hospitals cannot raise their fees to get more money (and funding in itself is very low...1.5 billion dollars this year, developed countries can spend up to 193 billion pounds ...that is the UK)....the hospitals won't have enough money...and that is before you bring in the issue of corruption...internal and external.

Private hospitals don't have that constraint...especially if they operate in the cities.)

Most of the public hospitals in Abuja are semi mortuary and the private ones are very expensive for the poor

The brain drain should not be encouraged. Or should all Nigerians be condemned to bad health? Seems you have some kind of evil in you that gets you excited when Nigerians die because of bad healthcare in the country.
I also said government is the biggest culprit. They should act fast and Tinubu should stop traveling abroad. The equipment and doctors treating him in France should be imported to Nigeria.

My Experience In A Public Hospital In FCT.

CC: Chief of staff presidency.

There is a shortage of medical health care givers all over the world! This is why more stable countries are still hiring foreigners to cater for the needs of their people.
There is a dificit of doctors and nurses everywhere bro.

all you need is GOD and healthy living. you are what you eat.

Go and stop them from leaving. if not shut up.
leave your fathers house and experience life. Then youll understand why skilled people are leaving the country
you can stay if you want

The issue is more is needed to be done in health sector, what you are seeing there is as a result of poor economy,treatment in public hospital is far cheaper than private one so expect 100times of visitors that go there compare to private hospitals I got to know this not long ago, owe Almighty GOD big thanks for that.....at times you have to be at the hospital as early as 6.30am booking space so you see the doctor early, when I say early it can be around 11am to 12pm ......only God will help us

Bros ehn....that was in d past, currently public hospitals are very expensive unless U are on NHIS or something....In fact bed that used to be N200 per day is currently over 2k even in s far North...They also lack most drugs, meaning u most go outside and buy( a bit better sometimes as certain drugs are cheaper outside) ....Just pray for eternal good health & avoid hospitals my guy

Few hands to cater for the myriads of patients. And now that the President has removed fuel subsidy with no palliative whatsoever, nor increment in salary. Most of civil servants don't go to work everyday, they now run shift (health workers inclusive). I can't be buying fuel 6k everyday (40k every week) on top how much salary? So these has further compounded the problem. I tell you this is not a good time to be a Patient.

Sincerely speaking the kind of mosquitoes you encounter in government hospitals compared to those at home can be likened to CIA vs amotekun

I went to check someone at a government hospital and I was bitten by at least 500 mosquitoes within 45 minutes

Dem dey talk serious matter, you wan catch cruise.

No worry, wahala go reach you soon.
