Nice analysis

ajimotoke:
50k per test, no wonder Covid 19 donations is no where to be found

shigoawesu:



This your name
Abi is not what am reading or thinking

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright

But na 10,000 Naira before na


Imagine "The cost of testing a patient ranges between N40,000 and N50,000"

O boy see format
Which means about seven hundred million don go down for just testing in Lagos not to talk of the entire nation

lagos state doing what the federal government suppose to do.

TheGoodJoe:


Doing what? How many millions of people are in Lagos, to date, only N16,000 tested. How we keep praising mediocrity beats my imagination.

Don’t frget that there was no structure before the pandemic hit. Nigerian government have under funded the health sector for years, that’s why you see even basic things take eternity to put together. Hopefully they would change after this experience

Miner13:
YOU want to know the truth? even if you're opportune to be there your case would be worst.so just locked yourself up

pompo47:
Thats why you see those imaginery numbers of people that have covid 19. they say 209 yesterday,304 today and 182 tomorrow. Then you will hear 16 have been cured and sent back to society. so each name is worth 50k oboy this wan pass yankee tax scam.No picture or Id needed so you people now see that in this country we really need help. We cant give people at least 10k to soften the financial effects of covid 19 but we can charge them 50k to test for covid 19. See what i said ooo test for 50k not cure for 50k.

cheerishMe:
Abeg where does the money they paid for testing goes? Is it to WHO or ?? Please someone help me with the answer

Sammy07:
2. The cost of testing a patient ranges between N40,000 and N50,000. It is free for patients and Government bears the cost. Efforts are on to get the cost subsidised through Insurance or donations by aid partners.


This one is actually true.
One of my cousin working in one of the testing center in Lagos told me the cost of testing is around 50k.

onyxo76:
so to test 20 people na 1 million be that...that's really costly

Diiet:
The no 9 is what we want to here from you always.

TheGoodJoe:


As in eh.

NCDC did not buy test kits. NCDC did not buy PCR machines. Yet they are telling us the tests cost N50,000. Is it the putting of the swabs in the machine that increased the cost?
