No need to buy more, the available ones can be flown all over where they’re needed. Wonderful!
God protect us from evil!
That is called lean logistics.

You yourself, Mr. Minister, said you can never have enough ventilators, so how has your reasoning now lead you to understand that you should not purchase more? It's like saying that since one can't be too careful, it becomes okay to be ruthless.

Why are most Nigerian leaders so stupid?

People struggling for breath, will sit tight and be waiting for your stupid asses to convey ventilators from Abuja to Lagos and back, because breathlessness is moimoi for you dumbos. I hope you all continue to test positive and not be asymptomatic, to the point where you'll experience firsthand the result of your complete lack of discernment.



Why ignore the part where he said only 1 patient has needed a ventilator so far? It seems evident to me that what he is saying is that we have an oversupply of ventilators considering the nature of current cases but in the worst-case scenario some ventilators can be moved from other places without strain on the system.

Now, what qualms could you have with this?

A reasonable n well meaning country is suppose to have standard infrastructures in every town, village n city. Just imagine, a country where quality meal isn't guaranteed. About 90% of Nigerians dont have the means to eat a balanced meal. I have said it over n over, Nigeria can never be okay!

Why pick out what you want from what he said? The gist of his entire statement was that there is a very low need for ventilators as the majority of the cases are mild. Let's be fair to each other.
im sorry but coming from the health minister who needs every possible instrument to contain this virus, that statement is myopic. It’s better you have more, than less at any point in time when it comes to health matters. The gist is for people like you.

Lol. Peeps just be hyperventilating.

While I agree he misfired when he said ventilators can be flown to another state if needed (seriously was he high or something?? shocked )

but the point is investing scare resources to procure a large quantity of the ventilators might not represent a very prudent use of scarce resources. Over 80% of those infected will not need it. What we need NOW urgently is testing.
Re: Coronavirus: Nigeria May Not Need Many Ventilators For Patients – Minister by doe: 6:57pm On Mar 31, 2020
This minister is ignorant. Early detection does not improve survival rate. People across the world are in lockdown and sweating it off. Only when they develop difficulty in breathing they go to hospital bfor oxygen. Then the more serious ones go on ventilator.
Old school people like this should be in the village enjoying retirement. Adds zero value.

So even if we don’t use it now its not going to be useful in the future??

Upon all the donations that they have received,sometimes when some of our public officers say somethings you start thinking if they were High before making some statements.

But what do you expect from a Health minister that studied accounting?

Forget this government cox they don’t give a shit about you! #Staysafe

You can see why when someone is critically down let's say in Enugu, the public hospitals there will be referring him to another state ko? If we don't get things right now, it can never be. Is it a crime for our hospitals to become equipped to world class standard?

If chloroquine is very effective and they are using it, then I guess we will need less ventilators per case.

However, if this is not the case, it means the NCDC is woefully unprepared, the honorable minister is engaging in wishful thinking, and a lot of elderly men and women, young people with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease from smoking or exposure to polluted air and dust, asthma, HIV, or bad luck, are going to die.

Certainly testing and isolation is key to preventing this upcoming calamity, but the government is clearly not yet ready to spend the kind of money it will take to test and isolate infected people at a rate fast enough to contain the disease, and they don’t have workers who are as efficient as they need to be.

They are using same drug in USA and people are dying. The Minister is a clown. Its that simple.

Each state should have at least 1000 ventilators before now and should have been one of the priorities.

Is all the money donated for just test kits?

The above statement is my opinion on this matter, and it's not up for discussion.

The military second eleven orishirishi was not a plan to build or maintain field hospitals but to maintain order and discard corpses.

Have heard 2 different presumed experts predict 40 and 45 million death respectively.

How possible can that be since we have not started recording multiple deaths already.

Now, what qualms could you have with this?

Can you truly believe that we can have an overwhelming number of any medical equipment in our Nigeria? Truly? Are ventilators even exclusively meant for covid-19 patients? To what end is he having a principle of selectivity, for funds already devoted to the fight of the pandemic? Is it to diversify into agriculture now, or what is he suggesting they keep the money for? My problem is that I can't seem to understand whether the Nigerian government has been cursed with a knack for impugning the underlying value of preparation for the unexpected. Even nations with better measures of preparedness could not completely remove the risk of such big no-notice event from trying and sometimes overcoming the capacity of their governments, so by all means, let us fast pedal ourselves to nothingness, by not putting up a proper fight.

You can run simulations based on the available cases right now...heck you can even do it with Microsoft Excel.

The greedy minister obviously doesn't want to spend money I heard the Chinese are now selling their ventilators for $50k each up from $20k due the high demand from the US and other countries.

Ur points are salient. But not the health minister is a medical doctor not an accountant.
Re: Coronavirus: Nigeria May Not Need Many Ventilators For Patients – Minister by Babateemd: 11:09pm On Mar 31, 2020
i Pray that he is right, no country needed ventilators at less than 200 cases. problem is when the number of cases go up , we should buy more now that we are this stage, it is not a waste, you can send them to teaching hospitals after covid has ended.
