ReplyDeleteThis is worrisome. It will be so bad if we will have to travel to other states just to get basic treatments. No wonder nurses keep telling patients, " No doctor on seat." Chai! 😔
It's not just limited to Ogun state, but all over the States in the country.
ReplyDeleteDOZZYBEST.
Most of the doctors have left the country.
ReplyDeleteSame here o. I went to FMC for my sons neurology appointment and I was told they don't have a neurologist because the one seeing us before has relocated. A whole FMC !

ReplyDeleteIt is worrisome that most of our hospital do not have enough medical personnel, I have been on waiting list just to book appointment for my surgery now since May, I have been told to wait till August ending, I just pray it will not be shifted again. Nigeria Government should wake up to their responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteWhomever the minister of health is, they better get on this before it becomes more complicated. I detest when they wait until a matter they know about becomes critical before they try to do anything about it. You know a serious problem exists now, then start working to resolve it before ppl start dying
