1.5 million? But where does all the money go. Someone's pocket I suggest. In medicine, in many parts of the world especially Nigeria no one cam tell whether thete is real value in the cost of services. Noone lnows how much things should really cost, services are arbritrarily priced and overpriced because a man in pain or at the foothills of death wiil do all he can and beyond to get relief.

Simply because new technology is introdiced that produces a better product does not and should not necessarily mean the astronomical difference in price charged for such services and there should be a body in Nigeria that modulates these. Right now it is left to the profession to charge what they want, hoe they want, backed by a very powerful union in the NMA. Some body should speak for the citizens.

I 'm aware of the unusually high costs of some medical imaging services in Nigeria and often wonder what the basis is and criteria for such. Who sets and approves these sums in general, but I understand the health business is a 'sellers' game and as they say, dead men tell no tales, but should it be.

do you think the equipment comes cheap, the expertise nko. Should someone buy MRI machine for 50 million and be charging N1000 per scan.

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
