₦airaland Forum

judiciarypalava: This native doctors, sorry mediocre doctors, in fact doctors in this forum must be from the sun. Playing politics will not take you guys any where, the earlier you guys accept that you are drastically loosing the battle and think of how to amend your mistakes in time the better.
Edo NMA protesting to shut down private hospitals is the height of it. You guys are gradually incurring the anger of the masses. May be the arrogant nature that most of you guys exhibit in the cause of your job in most of the government hospital will not allow a fair judgment.
For your information, the masses are getting use to the situation so you guys should not do additional funny thing that would shift the fight from Fed to the public. A word is enough for the wise.

davodyguy: DSTV will still win this war. If they enter China and use international connection. Country to Country, the Chinese government will put Qsat engineers behind bars

EMMAACHILE: China will never allow that.

xtratagem: That's not the guy behind avatarcom...

EMMAACHILE: The queen is under fire and it's very unstable now. All server errors cut across all codes. Don't tamper too much with your box.

EMMAACHILE: approximate prices, could be more
1.8m dish=8,000 eurostar or 10,000 strong or 2.4m fiber or Metal dish=24,000 or larger size
stargold fuji ku lnb=4,000
Cband strong lnb=1,000
Jack/Positioner (HH motor)=N5,000
Cable=1,000

If you have more than a 3m dish, Mini x4 decoder is a must to enjoy it

barcanista: All these are Inland Roads which falls under the Jurisdiction of Local Government. Maintenance of Gutters and Canals are also LG's Affair. Do you expect Fashola to Inherit LG Chairman work? Beside can you be truthful and say whether the LG Chair hasn't done anything worthwhile? I aint holding brief for no one here

Morotov1: I am quoting your post for posterity before the content is changed.
Coming to a public forum like nairaland to unknowingly acknowledge the allegation of fellow Nigerians that consultants don't come to work is really something to be marvel at . If working 3 out of 5 working days isn't lazying about then I wonder what is.
No matter how exhausted you are, you're duty bound to perform in your line of duty or resign. The bankers and all those that works in private firms will attest to this but the chase is different in government owned firms.
Being a consultant equivalent of attending physicians in US entails a lot of responsibilities and less luxury time for self and family.

bushdoc9919: As I told you.....if you want a well equipped hospital with good facilities....well, first most of the facilties needed are made abroad. So,importing them will cost money. Next, we have to maintain the facilities. That costs money.Thirdly, because of no light and no water...we have to provide water and light. That costs money (In India....light and water is stable....at least in the big cities because....they have nuclear power. ). Then you have to pay the staff....not just the docs...well. That costs money.

For me....the problem is that we do not have adequate water and power supply....and that eats up most of the running costs of many a hospital. Then....we have to,as I said earlier....import things like theater equipment, x-ray machines, EKG's,dialysis machines, etc.(If Nigeria was an industrial economy....we would be manufacturing these things.). Finally, repairs when they break down. Because we have a scarcity of good technicians (thanks to the fact that everybody thinks that technical school is for dull people)...we have to import techies from outside...and that costs money.

And guess who will be paying for all that (Hint-it isn't the government).

Despite that...we do have some good world class private hospitals (Ekocorp, Cedarcrest, Diff,Nisa). But....if we want more of them....we have to get the light and power back on line. We have to industrialize....so that we can manufacture medical equipment at home. We have to train more master technicians. We have to increase the number of docs,nurses,lab technicians, etc. And we need a truly National Health Insurance scheme....not a scheme for just salaried workers.

And you Nigerians have to be prepared to pay out of pocket costs that would be much higher than what you pay for 'govt hospitals'.

bushdoc9919: Because to maintain world standard facilities....you need to pay world standard hospital fees....not the government fees you Nigerians prefer.

agitator: Is it the Indian government hospitals these people are patronizing?
Why can't the Nigerian owned private hospitals/clinics also be up to world standards, so people from other countries can also come to Nigeria for medical tourism.

bushdoc9919: Perhaps....but I still believe that better funding is key.

agitator: Is it the Indian government hospitals these people are patronizing?
Why can't the Nigerian owned private hospitals/clinics also be up to world standards, so people from other countries can also come to Nigeria for medical tourism.
Everytime people yarn dust bla bla bla
The Indian doctors are they much better because the Indian government is paying them high HAZARD allowance, and they have a doctor as surgeon general?

Dreambeat: It would be too petty of me to trade insults with you because I consider it infra dig. Read about how much money Nigerians contribute to the India economy annually through medical tourism for ailments that could easily be managed in this country. Money that could be invested in our economy and increase employment. Just put the necessary facilities in place, that is all we ask of the government.

oluks05: AUGUST 16, 2014 BY JESUSEGUN ALAGBE

[b]The Ministry of Health’s spokesperson, Dan Nwomeh, said Nigeria needs to sign the proposed National Health Bill
into law before organ trade transactions get out of hand. He clamoured for the prompt signing of the bill into law for
the regulation of organ transplant in the country.
He said, “We hear rumours about the trade, but the truth of the matter is that we have a big problem at hand, and this
is because there is no law regulating organ transplant in Nigeria. There is no law at all now, and what can the
Ministry of Health do when there is no law?
“That is why we have been canvassing for the signing of the National Health Bill. If the bill is signed into law,
important health issues like organ transplant and fertility medicine will be regulated. It will not be done in the secret.
“But while we are waiting for the National Health Bill to be signed into law, everything depends on the practitioners to
do the proper thing. You cannot say someone who is into the organ trafficking business has committed an offence
since there is no law yet that is against or regulating it.”
Nwomeh added that the Ministry of Health would continue to canvass for the signing of the National Health Bill into
law.
He said, “The health minister and the Ministry of Health will continue to push forward until this particular bill is
signed into law. Until such happens, there are bound to be shady businesses like that.”
The Vice-President of the Commonwealth Medical Association and former President of the Nigerian Medical
Association, Dr. Osahon Enabulele, corroborated the comment of the health ministry.
He said that the bill takes into account provisions for the regulation of organ transplant and fertility medicine in the
country. He said if the bill is not signed, the perpetrators would continue to have a field day.
Enabulele said, “Right now, organ trade is commoner outside the country, especially in India, and so it is not
unexpected that the business there is booming due to the fact that people from other countries go there to do it.
“It is definitely illegal and a criminal act, but in the absence of regulation, no one can be blamed. People are doing
many things underground and even if you apprehend them, under what law are you going to charge them? What
penalties will be levied on them?
“In terms of the robustness of the trade in Nigeria, I think one is certainly not very much aware of how it is, but I
know that the usual destination point is India because that is where all sorts of trafficking take place.
“This is one of the reasons that when I was the president of the Nigerian Medical Association, I actively supported the
passage of the National Health Bill because it has the provisions for the regulation of organ transaction, including the
kidney, to make sure there are rules and strict adherence to the guidelines for organ transactions, unlike having an
unregulated market where anything happens.
“It is even now important that there is acceleration in terms of getting the President’s assent to harmonise the
National Health Bill to prevent the burgeoning of illegal organ transactions. If it is happening, it is the sign that there
needs to be some sort of regulation.
“If the guidelines are not there, there will be an astronomical increase in criminal activities in organ transplant due to
the level of poverty. Many unwilling donors will end up in the hands of fraudsters. If people must donate their organs,
then it must be according to certain guidelines.
“Normally, organs are not what to be donated for a fee, it should be voluntary out of empathy for a victim (either a
relative or friend) just like blood donation. It should be out of one’s empathic disposition.
“Guidelines must be put in place to prevent extortions like this whether they are doing it because of poverty or not. A
framework must be put in place to regulate organ transplant in the country through the signing of the health bill.”
Enabulele emphasised that there was nothing wrong in donating human organs, but that it should be done voluntarily
and freely under the regulation of the law.[/b]
