Very pathetic, though Michelle is gone but the good foundation keeps her alive. May God bless her thoughtful parents. Michelle gave her life just to save many others |

This is why I keep saying that Nigerian "doctors" are useless. In the West, this baby's heart problem would have been detected and fixed even before she was born or taken into intensive care to fix the heart issue immediately after she was born! I'm not even sure if Nigerian "doctors" can fix any heart disease at all that requires an operation. In fact, they hardly conduct correct diagnosis of illness! Most Nigerian "doctors" don't know what's wrong with their patients! So most times they end up making guesses of patient's illness and administer treatment meant for a totally different illness their patient wasn't suffering! A friend of mine (an European based Nigerian) who visited home, nearly died in Nigerian because his illness was misdiagnosed at three hospitals that gave him three difference results and none of them stated correctly his illness! When he returned to Europe and visited a doctor, it didn't take the doctor 2 minutes to reveal what the guy was actually suffering from! And he became well within three days of treatment! I weep for Nigeria. Nigerian doctors' incompetence have killed many Nigerians. Nigerian hospitals are like death chambers. Patients who have mild and treatable illnesses die steadily in the hospitals! Shame on Nigerian Universities that churn out either half-baked "graduates" or outright illiterate "graduates! Shame on Nigeria for having the worst Healthcare system in the world! The Sam family is great for donating the money for another patient suffering from Heart surgery. Bravo to them! I'm so sorry for their loss. 2 Likes |

Logician: Sadly foundations do not last in Nigeria. People soon forget. Maybe because lots of lives are lost too often. But great to see her parents touch others' lives with donations meant for Michelle. RIP little angel. |

DedeNkem:Well, we do not want to be unfair to 9ja doctors in general. Our doctors are actually quite creative, innovative & ingenious & work in rather crude conditions many have to work in. How much does Nigerian government at all levels spend on healthcare? Holland of about 17 million Dutch people spends around 53 billion Euros on healthcare & Nigeria only 257 billion Naira (177.8 million Euros?) for 180 million Nigerian people for 2016. The difference is staggering. Using 1 Euro = 450 Naira rate. Ordinarily, congenital heart conditions/diseases (CHD) should be picked up latest during the 18 to 21st week antenatal screening tests. But do our hospitals have the latest Ultrasound scanners & other facilities? Is it free for all pregnant women? Are the healthcare professionals well trained to do the screening & interpret correctly? Consider those factors first. 3 Likes |

DedeNkem: I totally agree with you. Imagine a Nigeria doctor removed a patient's two kidneys thinking they are tumors. It's incomprehensible! And he still has his license to continue practicing. |

veron007: I read about that story. It's very troubling that a so-called "doctor" could do that and still be allowed to see patients instead of sending him to jail! |

AreaFada2:- Being creative, innovative & ingenious is totally useless if progress is not the result! Not all Nigerian doctors are incompetent (especially those who studied and practiced in Western countries) but most of those who studied in Nigeria are quacks! They've no clue what they're doing! Holland of about 17 million Dutch people spends around 53 billion Euros on healthcare & Nigeria only 257 billion Naira (177.8 million Euros?) for 180 million Nigerian people for 2016. The difference is staggering. Using 1 Euro = 450 Naira rate.- If they had actually spent the whole ₦257 billion on healthcare, you would see some of its impact. Unfortunately, they loot most of the money! Ordinarily, congenital heart conditions/diseases (CHD) should be picked up latest during the 18 to 21st week antenatal screening tests.- Endemic corruption is the main problem Nigeria has. Nigeria can afford to create the same or better healthcare like in the Western countries but corruption is the obstacle! Our politicians are all thieves! On the other hand, nothing stops doctors who manage our hospitals from using the exorbitant amount they extort from patients, to equip their hospitals, but instead they also loot the money! Corruption and incompetence of both politicians and doctors have killed many Nigerians! |

DedeNkem: At the end we largely agree on many things: you cannot give what you do not have. By international standards, N257 billion is absolute peanuts still. Amounts to just N1427.78 per Nigeria citizen per year! About $3.50 or well under £3. An elderly relative of mine spends at least N250k annually on just monthly check up and routine tests and general well-being. Private sector healthcare of course. No major chronic illness and remarkably fit after 8 decades of sticking around. Our elite spend far far more, even going overseas. Even if fully implemented, it still is very poor. Let me tell you, Nigeria lacks almost entirely the crucial primary care system of community General Practitioners or Family Doctors. It is the bedrock of any serious National Healthcare system. I see medics trained in 9ja doing marvellously in some of the most prestigious hospitals in the West. firsthand. Because they have the right atmosphere to excel. We're a poor country. That is the truth. But Nigerians fail to realise this. We are too proud that we cannot see that even 5m b/d oil output is very little. Let alone our current 1.5 to 2.5 b/d output. Only a seriously booming private sector can make 9ja great. Including healthcare. But we lack an enabling environment. What we have is potential and a large pool of human resource & a large internal market. And it has remained just that. Potential. Even without corruption, the rot might be less but still not going to be great. The City of London of 9 million people has a budget of £11.922bn. Roughly same as Sweden of 9.7 million people. Nearly same as Nigeria's national budget. A country financing recurrent expenditure using 70% of national budget is a sorry country. |

AreaFada2: I didn't say the ₦257 billion was enough. I said even if that amount is fully spent on health sector, we'll see the impact even if it's minimal. That money can fully equip many hospitals in the country, at least. But that's not the case due to massive corruption in every sector. Nothing destroys a nation than corruption in extremely high proportion! Nigeria is a good example of that. If the oil money had been invested appropriately, Nigeria won't be in this terrible situation. And a country that has only one major source of revenue is doomed. During the British colonial rule, Nigeria had many sources of revenue but today everyone is focused on oil that won't last forever. Education is the foundation of great countries. The time when graduates were respected had gone. What we have today are mostly illiterate "graduates" due to the huge rot in our moribund educational system. You can't compare graduates from the 80s and earlier with what we have today. We have serious problems in Nigeria. And until Nigerians wake up from their long slumber to kick out corrupt politicians and stamp out corruption, things will surely get worse! |
