that's a good hospital to go to ,I think it's the only one in the entire south west that you can practically do any test you need .

Lol, UCH get MRI? How many top teaching hospitals get am for Naija?
MRI is an expensive diagnostic equipment. Our SR was telling us it costs about ₦2B to own one. People who can fix or produce it are rich automatically, these are stuff you should learn.

It's also a business idea that you buy this thing and put it in top teaching hospitals, if you're rich. A single diagnosis, using it goes for nothing less than 80k, and it's one of the unavoidable medical tools.

Thank me later.
Fmc umuahia has one though.

young nigerian doctors are very ARROGANT and they complain too much. dis or dat. I don't mind increasing their salaries a little bit but they will still not be CONTENTED.
what has doctors arrogance got to do with this topic? we are talking about a top rated hospital not having a functioning MRI machine and you are here talking about doctors complaining and salaries.

When doctors go on strike it's the same set of people that'll call them evil.

Issokay o. Issokay.

Either we start organising grassroots movements that'll put pressure on the powerful or we keep nairalanding our ineffective blows

I implore anyone who is thinking of taking a second and third wife, to first focus on their community. The money spent on women could be used to better your environment and way of life. When will Africans care about their well being as a whole? It may never happen, but someone has to speak about this at every opportunity. Africans lack a form of intelligence that is needed to further society, but I truly believe it's due to selfishness and not lack of brain cells.

The money one politician (esp a governor) would launder from his state to pay his children's school fees for life and hide the remaining in the School's account is enough to buy 10 MRI machines, and more..

Nigeria is generally flawed (I hate to call it a joke). We run a system that ensures that things like this continue to elude us..

The powerful rulers (and weaker institutions) we have created haven't help the country and things would only get south from here..

We would start to get it right when we start to create stronger institutions and weaker individuals..

That would start with creating a brand new People's Constitution..

That's exactly what this current EFCC Boss is trying to create. I believe in him, and I pray he succeed, even Tinubu will regret ever appointing him. Because las las him too go collect.

I can help fix the machine but that problem is that it is obsolete and parts might not be available.
When these people buy such equipment, they should never pay in full. Instead they should lease from the manufacturer. Siemens, GE, Philips and Konica are all good brands.
An agreement of sales and service should be reached to reduce downtime.
This is a money spinner but most investors in Nigeria are only interested in hotel business.
A quick maths will give you an idea of the business aspect
Take for instance, at 100k per exam for easy 20 exams in a day is #2M
An equipment lease of 20 % interest rate of $150k ( equipment cost and installing) is just $30k. Divine this by 12 month you have $2500 a month
This amount is achievable in any teaching hospital MRI department in Nigeria.
And they will have newer, well maintained machine.
Lack of information and exposure to international market / investors is the problem in these respect.
In case they need my help and service I am available.



Bro, fund is not the problem as they do always make us believe, the reasons why those machine are either not available or well maintain is just Corruption.

I remember my conversation with one CMD then on how to upgrade the hospital, ... when i talk finish he looked at me nd smile, he said : do you think i don't know all those things you said

Meaning our leaders know what to do, they won't just do it for selfish reasons

It is to the interest of the hospital management that this equipment don't work.Patients can be sent on referral to their private clinics and labs.
...and I think this is one of the major criminal racket making healthcare inaccessible to ordinary Nigerians: evil doctors profiting from human misery.

To even think he is a traditionalist ( he is of Ifa religion)!

Can't even many churches band together and partner with Vine branch hospital ( of Vine branch church mokola; one of the best in south west) and get 1-2 MRI machines?
Big churches must learn to put differences aside , and solve societal problems.
