Free Healthcare For All Nigerians by davidif: 12:38pm On Jul 26, 2008
There should be free healthcare for all nigerians especially in the rural areas, just like a lot of European countries do. Nigeria has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world (those were supposed to be our future Bill Gates, Isaac Newton's, Albert Einstein).

Mozambique drastically cut there infant mortality rates by training high school graduates and nurses for 4 years to perform surgeries. This was a very innovative new program that the W.H.O marvelled at and recommended to other developing nations. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/birth-of-a-surgeon/introduction/747/

In Nigeria, human beings are dying from absolutely curable diseases despite the fact that all it takes to even open a world class medical school is just $120 million dollars (20 mill. for the faculty and 100 mill. for the medical centre and facilities). Unfortunately, state govts are embezzling more than that a year. How on earth should humans be dying from malaria or tuberculosis or even contracting polio in the freakin' 21st century.

My fellow nigerians what is your take on this topic.
