Why Do Most Nigerian Private Hospitals Treat Every Illness As Malaria? by ubiqly: 5:44pm On Jul 12, 2017
Ever walked into a private hospital to complain about some pains and other signs of illness and the physician just concluded that it is malaria? Then after a few days or weeks and your illness persist, they then say it is something else? If you haven’t experienced that, well I have.

It seems all Nigerian private hospital doctors have a meeting regularly where they talk about the illness to treat for the month or year. Maybe that’s why everybody that’s sick in a particular month is usually being treated for the same medical case. So sometimes if you do notice, in a week, almost everyone who is sick is being treated for malaria, and you begin to wonder if Malaria was the only sickness that exists in Nigeria.

My friend described a time that she went to the hospital, made complaints and was diagnosed with malaria. She was even given drugs, drip, had to do a blood test, etc, and the doctor still said it was malaria only for them to check her high blood pressure and discover that all that was wrong was that she was stressing herself too much! She just needed to rest and eat healthily! Wow!

Nigerian private hospital doctors need to calm down with slamming every major illness symptoms with malaria. Although, I'm not a doctor, sometimes, it might just be stomach pain, fatigue or reaction to the weather!

They are record officers not nurses. Not every female that works in the hospital is a nurse.
