Hospital ‘imprisons’ nursing mothers, babies over bills ....Partner abandons teenage mother at facility Appolonia Adeyemi Eight women, who were newly delivered of babies, have been detained at the Alimosho General Hospital, Igando, Lagos over their inability to pay accrued hospital bills arising from delivery services. Consequent upon this detention, the movement of the affected women has been restricted to the premises of the Maternity and Child Complex (MCC) domiciled at the Alimosho General Hospital. The women, who often wear uniforms provided by the hospital, are closely monitored by security officials on duty who ensure that they are always restricted within the MCC. Investigation by New Telegraph shows that it is not only security officials that monitor the detained patients, even nurses on duty keep an eye on the patients anytime any of them steps out of the ward where they are being held. One of the detained women, Fati Mohammed, had now been abandoned by her spouse owing to the couple’s inability to pay baby delivery service fee. Also detained are Mrs. Anna Ifoga, who is a petty trader; Mrs. Funmilayo Adegboye, also a petty trader, and Mrs. Basirat Kosoko https://newtelegraphonline.com/2018/02/hospital-imprisons-nursing-mothers-babies-bills/ 1 Like

As much as i support that LASG should write off the bills, my greatest concern is how these women would raise the children, if they could not pay the medical bills.We cannot blame govt for every of our problem. The simple truth is, dont give birth to children you cant cater for 16 Likes 2 Shares |

I commend the hospital for commencing treatment without an initial deposit or complete payment. It’s a shame the patients and their families are trying to take advantage of this good gesture. 29 Likes 1 Share |

Sad, the more reason why NHIS should be compulsory for everyone. Government needs to have a sliding tax which takes more from the rich and use it to finance healthcare. Any one whose gross earning is above 500k should pay 20% tax, above 200k should pay a 10% tax, above 100k should pay 7.5% etc etc 2 Likes 1 Share |
