Forget all these Trump hype,Newyork needs over 30,000 ventilators u are saying 5,000.Go and see the trade of words between him and NY governor.Trump failed American on this issue for not taking good proactive measures by saying it is just hoax and do nothing b4 it's get out of hand,now they are all facing the consequences.Compare Nigerian Government to chinna not Trump's Lakastical attitudes.

Leave the government out of it,what about the NHIS? That pool has billions in it and handled by medical professional thieves, can't ventilators be provided from that pool of money. The ventilators you see in us is from medicare tax if Trump order for NY it is a bailout that they will get back from medical insurance. You see we black people are dark in thought and very unintelligent. Africa the unintelligent continent.

This is bizarre shocked shocked. Now I see why all the western countries were busy packing their envoys inside a chartered plane last weekend and flew them home. I don't want to keep asking who did this to us. All I'd say is, God have your way.

UCH used to be the 3rd or 4th best teaching hospital in the whole of commonwealth, not just the best on Africa. I could remember a prof( emeritor) say patients were being brought into uch from far away Egypt at a time.

Anyway, there's nothing God cannot do. Obasanjo even tried by bringing into the country Vamed from Germany. Most of the said ventilators were supplied by Vamed engineering and the sector was abandoned after obj left office. With ordinary ear infection, buhari could travel to the uk. I hope he can do same now. We are all in for it.

Ventilators are standard equipment in any hospital. The government has been claiming to spend billions of naira and we have only 169 ventilators in a country of 200 million people.
You need your head examined
Commonsense99:
Even the 169 ventilators, do we really have electricity to power them?

We need to Sit up if this Nigeria will ever work out.
segzysexy:
Just 169 Ventilators! That's so bad. Instead of our government to equip all the medical institutions in this country they were busy looting the funds for their personal use. Now they are currently the most affected by the epidemic. I just pray they will know the right thing to do after the disappearance of this outbreak.

Abegi, some of you need to read beyond just headlines... grin

It’s 169 in 16 states, but about 500 throughout...
Sorely inadequate, but apparently NONE of the 159 cases thus far has required a ventilator.

We are now bidding against virtually EVERY nation for ventilators...
Accordingly, our best bet is to lockdown, isolate, distance, observe basic hygiene and try to quickly break the chain of infection.

The overwhelming majority of positive cases (80% worldwide) will have mild or no symptoms....
So if we manage to successfully flatten the infection curve quickly, it will not overwhelm our fragile healthcare system.

Please let them buy more, without COVID-19 pandemic hospitals need these things on a normal day, one single provincial hospital outside Nigeria can boast of at least 30 functioning units.

and let them fix the electricity problem too, just Wondering, prior to this time what were they using for regular icu patients in Nigeria, a country of 200 million people?

Thank God for Pastor Adeboye and others, it would have been worse. The media and Nairaland will never show you this, These donations were made more than two weeks ago so it wasn’t even as a result of the criticisms. Even when I created a topic on it. The mods deleted it but any avenue to rain insults on them, straight to front page. Not everyone likes to make noise over what they do like our politicians.

I used to be part of people criticizing them, but from what I’ve realized, it seems there is a deliberate attempt here on Nairaland to demonize these pastors so I quit. I’m not saying they’re perfect, but when they do good, it should also be made known.

Yes, it’s good to see these pastors put other people’s money (tithes) to good community use, instead of buying private jets. Well done Pastor...

Please give the government a break. While they prepare to do something about the numbers, the ventilator is not a cure . It only aids breathing , eat right . Regular detoxification is better than ventilator . It doesn't cost the earth to fast from food once a week and take to warm water in the morning.

Give the government a breakthrough . They are not perfect but ventilator has not been a serious issue until now . I am sure we would have roasted themif they had announced before brother Coro came visiting that spent billions on ventilator

Our leaders reason like dogs sometimes,this is y dey travel abroad wenever dey have common headache because they embezzle funds meant for ensuring good health of the citizens. How much is ventilators that this great nation Nigeria can't procure incase there's need for it tomorrow. They always go for emergencies,we don't pray it will be needed tomorrow but it's necessary they keep them on ground to avoid had I known.
