WTF

The PDP card carrier and those that voted and rig him in massively cant even get on board

Domestic animals will also have access to good health facilities. So, that means dog and chickens'  lives worth more than that of human. Are we not finished in the hands of PDP now? X-Ray lab for dogs while common children departments in general hospitals cant get enough beds.

This same leaders will go abroad to treat a common fever. God save us ooo!!!!!!!!

what i don't understand is they have the same thing in the budget every year,
or perhaps they dont spend the money, the return it to the coffers?

Finally, 22 million ediots that voted this ape into power are reaping their handiwork.


Am so happy that, even a dog worth more than those cretins that voted him to power. Wetin una see sef?

The money is not too much for the clinic.
That's just 4 million pounds

Abi ola do people really know that healthcare is expensive,

Ola one:

The money is not too much for the clinic.
That's just 4 million pounds

For u to conclude that way u must have an idea of what is being budgeted for the various general hospitals and teaching hospitals. This is just a clinic.

its quite big, they are accredited to train interns.

Nice development. This should cut down the spate of overseas medical trips by and perhaps also save a president or two from dying in office due to inadequate medical care in the villa.

Nigerins are in trouble.

Hehehehe

SHMC , where a NHIS cannot get Xalatan , maxivision, (1800) and Timolol eyedrops (4200) for her glaucoma which if untreated will lead to blindness.

But why is the president being blamed for this and not the doctors or so called cmd

Every year the Aso rock gets a turn around maintenace, buy this and that as if it wasnt there when they entered.
All is well.

That money can substantially upgrade at least one teaching hospital to international standards and more people wil have access.
Shame on GEJ and anyone who agrees with this wastage.

he is enjoying his papa oil money, make una lifam!

do you want fresh air in nigeria

Well, the breakdown is not too outrageous. The state house clinic has to be fully equipped (i.e. if they actually buy these and maintain properly). It doesn't have to appear in the budget every year. Moreover, do we have any information on what has been budgeted for health development in Nigeria generally. Let's get that information first before we start to castigate this budget.
I don't support GEJ at all but let's not get paranoid here, democracy is very expensive and this is just one of the prices we have to pay for running a democracy. I do hope the government does what is right and develop other hospitals in the country!!!

Geez, $8million + for a clinic opened to those who work and live at the villa? GEJ, this is WASTE of resources. This same resource will build a sound, modern ultra complex hospital that can treat an average of 120,000 annually

Are they all suffering from Kidney failure at Aso rock? Why all the dialysis machine ? They should put all these equipment at the General Hospitals nau, so they can always make use of it without excluding other Nigerians.

If this is followed to d letter, then there's no need for oversea's treatment. Though personally, i think it's so much wen compared to d general state of health care in Nigeria. # jez my opinion,

Remember what he told Nigerians early this year during his campaign?He once had no shoes raised in a peasant community of poor fishermen.Now what do you expect with the $48b Obasanjo left in office.A spending spree indeed.This is a man who understood the plight of Nigerians at the grassroots.What is EFCC waiting for?

PointB:

Nice development. This should cut down the spate of overseas medical trips by and perhaps also save a president or two from dying in office due to inadequate medical care in the villa.

They will always go abroad. There are some medical conditions that will require top rate specialists in their fields. Look at the brain surgeon who treated that senator Giffords. The doctor who trained Giffords doctor has just done something close to a miracle on a boy

But the love of estacode will actually make these people travel abroad.

KDULAR:

But why is the president being blamed for this and not the doctors or so called cmd

Let Jonathan tell us that he does not review what his doctors put in the budget
Have you forgotten Jonathan telling us that he removed fuel queues by "simply insisting that the right thing be done"

IMPROVEMENT OF FACILITIES (DELIVERY ROOM, DOG TRAINING PITCH, THEATRE, SLAUGHTER SLAB ETC) AT STATE HOUSE VETERINAY CLINIC: VET LABORATORY @ N4,499,262; PROVISION OF MATERIALS FOR THE MOUNTED SECTION (HORSE STABLE/ACCESSORIES @ N5,550,400 AND PROVISION OF X-RAY MACHINE ACCESSORIES AND SETTING UP OF RADIOLOGY SECTION @ N20,800,500.

Well, God's got our back (we d masses).
I just hope that after sinbking this amount into the SMHC, there'd be no need for overseas medical care. I just hope.

As a health personal, the budget is okay. Frequent foreign trips abroad for medical check-up will be more expensive.

As a health personal, the budget is okay. Frequent foreign trips abroad for medical check-up will be more expensive. The greedy CMDs/MDs of federal hospitals and corrupt officials of the Health Ministry are responsible the poor state of the hospitals. They steal funds allocated to the hospitals.

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

the money is not too much but note that is going to be yearly expenses AND if spend well as said will reduce cost of going to oversea for medical.then that is how we are going to spend oil subsidies if remove.

i know that all these money by fact is OWN by NIGERIAN . i.e young,old, able or disable. Even the ill health on the street.
NO job for thousand of graduates out there.

Nigeria government is creating poverty and wild-human being.

GOD SHALL SEE US THROUGH.

NIGERIA IS GREAT

WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT "IN DUST HE MADE US FROM AND IN DUST WE SHALL RETURN"
