Really? Would that be implemented in Nigeria? Most accident victims are left unattended to in general hospitals until there is a claim on them. If you don't have money to buy blood, you won't be given blood and you would probably die of shortage of blood. You need an emergency operation but no money to pay at least half of the bill, OYO is your case. Nigerians are funny too. After treatment, they would sneak out of the health facility. This would be a good improvement on the health sector if life is considered before wealth. Note. That mtn guy above is a Scam. This is April, don't be a fool. Happy New Month NL 4 Likes |

Honey, this is daddy. Is mommy near the phone?” a voice on the other end answered “No daddy, she is upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul.” The little girl quipped. “After a brief pause daddy says “but honey you haven’t got an uncle Paul!” “Oh yes I do, and he is upstairs in the room with mommy right now.” Brief pause “uh okay then, this is what I want you to do: “Put the phone down on the table, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door, and shout to mommy that daddy’s car has just arrived at the gate.”"Ok daddy just a minute…” A while later the little girl comes back to the phone, “done it daddy.”"What happened honey?” “Well, mommy got scared and jumped out of the bed naked, ran round the room screaming, tripped over, and knocked her head on the staircase, now she is not moving at all.” “What about Uncle Paul?” asked Dad.”He jumped out the window into the swimming pool, but I guess he didn’t know you emptied the water last week. He hit the bottom and I think he’s dead.” Really long pause this time… Daddy says, “swimming pool, but we don’t have a swimming pool? Is this 486-5731?” “No, this is. 486-5713.” Sorry, wrong number…. 8 Likes 3 Shares |

This is a very laudable suggestion. However, I don't see it coming into effect anytime soon. In a case where by the patient dies after all intervention, who will offset the bill? Also, he suggested that patients shouldn't spend more than 24hrs in AnE, in a case a patient has been transferred to the ward but he/she is yet to perfect her bills in the emergency or pay any deposit for ward admission then what happens? What will need first is an effective policy that will strengthen the social welfare unit/dept of all government owned hospitals. Also we all need social security number so that everybody can be traced and accounted for.... 3 Likes 1 Share |

I doubt it will be implemented for obvious reasons : the masses would mis-use it aka refuse to pay after treatment. Enforcing health insurance for all is a better option, imo 1 Like |

Rubbish.. I'm saying this at the risk of being critiscised, because i'm a doctor working in the accident n emergency of a Teaching Hospital. Its a political statement......he knows the mess on ground but because he's now a political appointee, he's playing to the gallery. He should do his part first.......how ? By making primary health care centres functional all over the country.....and telling Booohari to ask state governors to pay their docs well, so as to utilise state hospitals. You see, tertiary hospital staff are overworked because EVERY SICK PATIENT comes there.....it shouldn't be the case, if other health centres were working. In the past, its only REFERRED cases that come to Teaching Hospital.....after others have tried to treat but failed. Now, malaria, typhoid, diarrhea, headache et al all come here. He said poor people need care without paying....and that patients should vacate emergency ward to make space for others. To move to the ward, u must pay admission deposit......because u said they are poor, they won't pay....so they remain there blocking space for others. Or should we also move them to the ward without paying deposit ? ok, no wahala. How do you determine a poor person ? will u search him ? every every will claim poor.....how will the hospital be run without money ? Its sad to deny people treatment because of poverty.....but its a cruel world. you don't get justice if u don't have money.....u can't get a good lawyer you couldn't get ur money from the bank after 4pm even if u are dying [ before ATM came ] there's no free lunch anywhere. Healthcare is NOT free in europe and america.....quote me anywhere. Tell your boss Buhari to invest in healthcare.....where is all the abacha loot money they returned ? Look at the 2016 budget.....health is about 13th on the list. I dey vex 24 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Save Lives First In Emergency - Adewole, Health Minister To Hospitals by ForesightLTD: 5:11pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
Our doctors are heartless. If its not in their private hospitals where they collect exorbitant amount from frustrated patients, they dont take it seriously that's the challenge we have. I lost my lovely daughter to the lacklustre attitude of these doctors. I do pray this instruction should be followed to the latter. May God save us. |

Re: Save Lives First In Emergency - Adewole, Health Minister To Hospitals by Gkemz: 5:14pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
A couple of weeks back, an issue rose up concerning how an emergency patient died because she was denied medical attention since she was financially incapacitated. The doctor who was trying to justify his action received a lot of condemnation from people which i also condemned. The heartless doctor opined his reason being that most patients are kept after treatment due to their inability to fund their accumulated medical bills which he also said should be expensive giving his excuses on govt negligence on public health institutions. The economic hardship is hitting everyone though a worker deserves his wages but when it comes to life and death, you have to relegate your personal ambition and save a dying patient and afterward demand for your wage which shouldn't be too hard on the patient or sponsor(s). |
