speedyboi: This is a totally different case. And trust me when I say Doctors/Nurses like this abound everywhere in the world. Btw, I do agree most Nigerians are not dedicated to their jobs (civil servants, Health practitioners, police, Phcn, etc...). But we always fail to realise we are the ones bringing our country down with our own hands due to our attitudes to our various works. We'd rather put the blame on what's 'not there' (Government).

I always say it that what most Nigerians suffer from is due to the negligence of another Nigerian in his/her job. And our negligence in our various positions is also making another Nigerian to suffer.

ifyalways: The lagoon hospital
St Nicholas hospital
Reddington hospital
However,none of the comes cheap and might even be more expensive than going to India.

adewaleafolabi: Sure I agree my sister self is a doctor. But what happens when during the surgery PHCN takes light? And the backup gen fails due to it not being serviced on time? or maybe the money for diesel was embezzled ?

speedyboi: People who die in Nigerian hospital die mostly Cos of Nonchalant attitudes of Nigerians:
1. Nigerians don't do regular checkups
2. Nigerians don't go to the hospital when they are ill until they've tried everyother stupiid solutions (going to the chemist, drinking concoctions, praying/deliverance or not even using anything believing it will go by it self).

There will definitely be high rate of 'unsavable' deaths anywhere in the world where the citizens behave like this. Aaargh!

waybaloo: I think if people living here cant even feel they can get adequate basic healthcare treatment then how the heck are they going to submit themselves to open surgery like you described. I am sure there are very competent doctors here in Nigeria but the problem is deciphering them from the ones who are not! I have recently heard of two people who went abroad for a second opinion, one of them went straight to A & E as a result. I also know of one death which was a clear case of medical negligence. There is a distinct lack of trust and I have been told many times by many people if I get very ill ... leave the country! Having attended hospital quite a few times for minor issues with my kids I know why. In general there is a lack of customer care and attention in how patients are attended to here. As you sit with the doctor they are usually taking a phone call, addressing someone who has just walked into the room randomly or looking at you with the look of sheer boredom. And yes, I attend one of the very best hospitals here, supposedly. This is not confined to the healthcare sector. It is prevalent everywhere I go and everywhere I find myself a 'customer.' The banks are the worst, eye contact is not even made and they slope off walking very slowly to get whatever paper work. THIS is the issue. The attitude is insipid. And it is real.

klodike: Mr man, patients die everywhr. Weda USA, Germany, britain etc. If u present late or complications devp, u die.

Nelly Ghenghen: I once went to this hospital ((name withheld))n the young doctor there was pinging while talking to me so simple answer to simple question "Why do kidney transplant abroad when it can be done in Nigeria"... "Because, I love my life"

jidewin: God bless you..I was just going to state late stellas case,despite the condusive enviroment,equipments,and the hard currency from our oil money.
