Lol, my jnr sister went to a general hospital and needed to see a specialist, they gave her 5 months appointment NO JOKE. what do people who have no money for private health care do? Wait for 5 months?

But the president travels to UK for check up and his wife called out aso rock clinic for having no paracetamol, Funny country undecided

You can lie for Africa.....Which specialist is ur sister trying to see that's not available in my dear Nigeria. That she will be booked for 5months...

which doctor is paid over 500k, not everybody will see rhe one paid over 500k cos he went to school for at least 14 yrs to earn that 500k, the ones you will see ehn earn about 100k. This paper wont help anything but increase death rate.

But what do i care,tired of talking to ignorant nigerians
14 years to study medicine? The moment u get an offer and sign with acceptance, u are obligated to stick by it, do if u aren't comfortable with the job why not reject it? U are plainly ignorant

There would definately be an experienced doctor on ground who is not all about the low pay but sees saving lives as a priority. Let those that want to leave leave. You'll be amazed at the changes for the better that would happen.

Is it wise for them to collect big salary from gov't but they work for themselves at their own hospitals some of them go as far as referring patients from gov't hospital to their private hospital and later on go on strike for increase insalary.
Those shouting international best practices do doctors work for gov't and as well own private hospitals in abroad.

He goat. Is it not me and you including the poor masses that he is trying to save? you don't know why Our public hospitals are not working is because of conflict of interest? the saying that we "rushed our dying relative to the general hospital but there was no Doctor and equipment to attend to him and he died" is what the president is trying to correct. a situation where many of these Doctors divert patients to their private clinics where they charge exorbitant fees as against the subsidised fees if such cases were treated in the hospitals. Again, most of these doctors play truancy to duty leaving where they are employed and pay attention to their private clinics, leaving the poor masses who cannot afford the high fees in their private clinics to suffer. This is not to talk of the diverting of public equipment to their private clinics. so It's better if they want to go public, they are free, but If they want to go private no problem.
Is it not obvious that most of the people in front page only rush to type negative things about Buhari for likes? Just type "_Fuck Buhari" and see how many like your post will get.

Applaud him for this...?? U must be joking....
Doctors will just set up clinics with names other than their as owners just like in boys owning pharmacy use certificates if licences pharmacist in their shop as proxy owners...That's the end of that law.....

You think there are no ways to checkmate this? You must be a learner. grin grin

1StopRudeness:
Why is that it's only masses that will make sacrifice...What happened to leaders getting ban from travelling abroad with their children for medical check up...What happened to banning leaders from sending their kids and wards abroad for education..Let him do that and see the ripple effect..... Let them be driving u and u keep applauding....I say again u must be joking

As long as it is their money they are using to go abroad for medicals/schools, that should not be anybody's problem!

what we are saying here is that you cant eat from both ends of the stick.
You cant be refusing to do your job on Govt pay...and then be directing the patients to your private clinics.
If you think th epay is too small, go do private practice.

Daboomb:


You see this "low pay" thing, has many facets.
First, ALL occupations under Govt in Nigeria have the right to claim "Low Pay".
Teachers do, all Civil servants do, railway worker do, e.t.c

But the reality is that "what a Govt can pay, is dependent not just on what the Govt earns (Crude oil, taxes, e.t.c) but also on the PRODUCTIVITY of the Employees!
We all know the level of productivity of Public employees in this country, compared to their private counterparts.

Why do 'some' private company workers complain of low pay as well?
Airlines, some bank workers, production companies, e.t.c, their workers also complain of low pay.

So, it is not unique to Doctors alone and they cannot use that to justify the malfeanse that goes on in that industry.
Just imagine if Teachers, who are also complaining of low pay, decide to be stealing the text books you bought for oyur child, to resell it in the open market and use "low pay" to justify that?
Would you like it or tell them to make a choice of remianing in service or going to open a Private Bookshop?

You ignore the fact that doctors have opportunities open to them overseas and even in Nigeria if they decide to vote with their feet not easily open to the others.

They can easily earn 10 times what they collect here if they venture overseas.

Doctors are not accountants

Is it their money...oga open ur eyes..these people not only steal our money they even use available educational grant for their children....is buhari using his money for medical trip...is like this government is paying u money.....
Please say the truth...how many time has doctors directed u to their clinic...please don't tell lies just to drive home ur point...doctors everytime tell people to go to general hospitals more because of the wealth of experience, general hospitals are better any day...except for cases of lab test or scan...and they do this when the hospitals don't have the facility for the test or the ultrasound machine has too many paintients queuing on it....abeg u are too biased in ur reasoning...

imagine saying politicians are using their money... They are using their personal money and the whole country is like this??

2. An order to ban strikes by workers. No work, no pay.

3. Now an order to ban private practices when the government pays doctors peanuts.

This is awesome..... How doctors who re paid over 500k monthly by the federal government still refer u to their useless private hospital still baffles me, imagine one referring my sis to his expensive small hospital that he will have more time there,

how, that's civil service rule, has a civil servant, one is not allowed to own a private business except a farm for personal use, and you know some of our medical doctors, they are not really committed to the work they are paid for, but rather they are more committed to their private hospital which is wrong.

It's only a FOOLISH doctor that will sit down and mind all these policies. Every doctor that can, should just leave this country-- earn good pay commensurate with your labour. Even Ghana (small Ghana) will pay about double of what you earn here. If Nigeria will collapse, let it! Save yourself!!!
