this thing a big problem now in Nigeria o and calls for urgent attention. You take a person to the hospital and at the end you lost the person,I think the hospital should take small responsibility. They can at lease reduce the price, you can not lose life and money all alone now. Unless if their is something you should do that you did not and led to the demise of the person. And in some cases people don't have money to take care while the person is a life,where will they get money now that the person is dead. This matter needs attention o. 14 Likes 1 Share |

They can open a Go Fund Me account so that people can contribute and help the grieving family. The hospital is not a charity organisation, if everyone reading this sends N500 that N400k can be raised in 30 minutes 101 Likes 2 Shares |

ManirBK:If let's say drug suppliers supplied drugs on credit to the hospital, and they used drugs worth 200k on the patient plus other expenses before the patient died,and they write it off for her and every other patient that dies,how will the hospital pay back the pharmaceutical companies who supplied drugs to them? How will they restock their pharmacy so that the next incoming patient will be attended to immediately? When the next patient comes and the hospital tells them to go and buy their drugs outside that it is out of stock,same you will complain. 83 Likes 4 Shares |

so sad paying 400k ontop your son wey die,is it a proper thing for a family to borrow hundreds of thousands they don't have to collect the corpse of their dead child for burial? when and how are they going to pay back? what will now happen if they can't pay back those they borrow from? anyway they are already a debtor and the hospital will surely come for them to collect their money on a legal ground. may this not happen to us in Jesus name 3 Likes |

My heartfelt condolences to the parents of the girl. Adetula Blessing Fadekemi is a principal criminal/scammer. An accomplice of Demilade Vade. Everyone should be wary of both miscreants. 5 Likes

People should stop saying "Leave the body for them naa" or "the hospital should cancel the bill since the person is dead". This kind of mentality forces private hospitals into demanding a certain amount to be paid before they attend to an emergency since Nigerians have learnt not to pay for hospital bills if the patient dies. Most private hospitals don't have mortuaries to withhold bodies like government hospitals. whether the patient died or not didn't change the fact that the hospital ran into expenses trying to save the life. I hope an NGO, govt or an individual can help them pay up the bill, the child ailment must have drained the parents. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

“I learnt tailoring but that is not what I am doing. I am doing small jobs outside to feed my children. My wife sells tomatoes and pepper in the market and that is how we have been managing,” he said. So sorry for your loss and the inability to offset the Bill. And more worrisome is that fact that you are paying for corpse and not your living daughter. Sincerely I wish you continued with the tailoring you learnt instead of the small job. 2 Likes |
