The Nigerian factor and the battle for supremacy between all the health workers will be an issue.

It will be a miracle if the Nigerian health care system can actually work in synergy but with all these bickering and "I own the patient you don't ". accusations and counter accusations by each of the health workers It may not last. Before you know what's happening it now be doctors vs paramedics, nurses vs paramedics ,pharmacists vs paramedics.

Nigerian health care system is in shambles already.

If all of them can put their ego aside and actually do their job it will work.

It seems only Lagos has an emergency medical system, and a lot of lives will be saved in emergency situations if this is replicated all over Nigeria.

The Lagos system also needs more coverage and improvement I think. One should be able to call if someone has an emergency situation at home and the ambulance will come over, but it seems it's only for road accidents.

not true. the do home services too proper funding would help. them do better.

Can a free paramedic system be possible in our present day Nigeria?

Will Nigerians be willing to pay little for home paramedic responders?

sure

The paramedics advocate talked about training patients. Does he honestly understand the reasons and parameters used for sorting triage? Or he just wants to impress the readers. He was almost touching aspects of core professional medicine which is to say that when the chips are down, the will impersonate doctors without having the requisite training and experience. I know a nurse anaesthetist who is doing all sorts of surgery and killing people daily.

What a shame she wasn't trained and yet doing procedures in Nigeria let every one face what they read in school and not something else.
