Nigeria health care professionals in clinical practice especially in the public system need commendations again and again.That said they have many areas to improve on.But with the present re our ces they have,they are accomplishing excellent deeds at the cost of great personal sacrifice. To understand this well one needs to review the VOLUME of cases seen by the average Nigeria public hospital per period of time.and the patient to Dr/Nurses ratio to appreciate their services. Compare it with the funds they work it.resources available and the stage the cases came in to understand these guys are working magic to keep the system afloat. An example.A hospital somewhere in Nigeria sees over 6000 delivery cases a year with approximately 5 Doctors. 90%of these cases do not book for antenatal Care.They come in as emergencies. That means all the team put in lots of extra time to meet up and practically spend their days and nights in the hospital. Add poor renumeration,abuse at work by superpriors,office politics (johesu refuses to do their work so you carry some part of it so you dont get litigation)and the psychological challenges of not meeting up to family and societies expectations and you start to understand that the medical Doctors in this countries are overworked, underpaid,depressed bunch of persons still trying against all odds Before you add nurses to this equation,it is true the patient to nurses ratio is also ridiculous and unrealistic which means not all can be done by 2 persons on shift within a short time.But with nursing they don't go the extra mile. A nurse runs shifts and once their shift is over they are out.They have spaced their shifts to enable adequate resting period for themselves.The buck does not stop at their table so they quick to pass the unsolvable problem and blame (wheter true or not )up the ladder thereby exonerated In summary there are Still lots of unemployed Medicall persons in Nigeria.The country will do well to train and retrain all these persons |

You are very right, also, if there is any bad thread e.g the thread where a woman lost her child due to doctor's negligence in a certain private hospital, you wont see the nurses asking for them to be added in that kind of headline even when nurses were involved in that story. phineas: |

funmisticqueen:What are you people justifying? Isha Sesay commended both doctors and nurses but nurses are excluded from the headline and you are here spewing why it is right to exclude them not minding what the original post said. So you see, the problem of Nigerians is from Nigerians if you didn't see anything wrong with that. phineas:Who didn't know where the buck stops, is it Isha an international journalist of great repute? This is not even an excuse at all. call it as it is. In short this speaks volume of Nigerian mentality. Very shallow. |

I am not saying nurses shouldnt be excluded, but to also remember to ask to be written in the headlines when the news is bad too and stop being fair weather people. I respect nurses a lot and i am not trying to shad them SirVintageCock: |

funmisticqueen:Did you read the message from Isha not the headline? The op mischievously excluded nurses when Isha even wrote nurses before the doctors. Now I am not holding brief for nurses but this is too petty. Now, watch out if there is any bad news that portrays nurses in a bad light, whether it is from a cleaner, nurse aide, or whatever...you'll see how the will write it boldly. just this slight commendation and they are being deprived it is unfair..very unfair. It seems you've not be online for a longtime to see nairaland bad news on nurses. It far exceeds the doctor bashing you see here. |

funmisticqueen:The person you quoted might not be far from the truth. From my various encountered over many years, with Medical Drs, once you are not a medical drs, they tend to have less values for you even though you work in the same medical fields. To make the case worse, an opinion of an house officer, in any medical field or discussion is of no value to a Resident Dr while a Resident Dr opinion becomes irrelevant to a Consultant. The same Consultant in a teaching hospital has no respect for G.p . This has been the practice especially in the teaching hospitals. A clinical article that's written by a Consultant is of no meaning to the Professor in a medical field. Invariably in medical practice and success in Nigeria, Drs do like to take all the glories. 1 Like |

fistonati:Oga the president didn't call Nigerians criminals. Unfortunately the number of likes u got on this misleading post tells how much ignorance reigns supreme in our society. The president said; our behaviour back home affects our image abroad. Which is true. In some nations 2day,the average Nigerian after landing at the airport is seen as a potential fraudster or drug pusher. Do I need 2 mention corrupt politicians who loot and take abroad 2 invest?

almarthins: Lol, I happened to have partly researched Cuban health care system. With a professor who had about 30 years experience of researching the system in field work in Cuba. You have to go back to the actions of the revolutionary leaders to improve education making it one of best educated countries in the world. And the way they train doctors. Things do not happen without concerted actions by the powers that be. It easy to criticise from the outside. We all do that. But nothing like having proper comparative experiences to understand it better. |

Nigerian doctors that couldn't save my friend who died a few weeks ago. Nigerian doctors that told my mentor (a professor) that he had cancer when it was just stomach ulcer. The poor old man thought he was going to die until his son took him abroad for treatment. Sha, I don't blame then, this could try is full of sh*t and the good doctors have all left this shithole for better countries. How do you expect a doctor, after spending almost 10 years in school to be earning 60k in one general hospital and then expect him to do well? 1 Like |
