Dear Nairaland Readers,

I have taken time out of my busy schedule to comment on this news report.

As a doctor I feel very sad and deeply embarrassed at the state of healthcare in Nigeria. We can not afford to ignore this anymore.

There are many comments on this forum about this trend but few are constructive. I will address some of them as a way of making my points.

@DollarAngel -Nigerian doctors are shiits
No. Nigerian doctors are among the best in the world. They practice in every western nation and almost every African country. The only places you do not find Nigerian doctors are in asia and eastern Europe. Everywhere they go, they excel. But they fail in Nigeria. Does that say something?

@Dottore - Beware!!! Quacks and unqualified professionals are on the loose everywhere
You are right! The system has failed. We do not police the medical system as rigidly as we should. The government devotes as little money as possible to health care because they do not care about you. Nigerians visit quacks for their health needs but the president and governors fliy abroad for treatment.
The medical schools are poorly run and make young people suffer unnecessarily to get a degree.
Doctors, nurses, lab scientists go on strike periodically to presss home their demands for a better system but the populace does not support them. How illogical!

@ifenes - Probably an agreement between doctor and baby subconsciously
Nonsense.

@gocaf - what nonsense...... i feel like slapping the hell outa that quack hospital and doctors. imagine a beautiful and innocent child like this, no wonder our politicians prefer London, U.S, Germany and India for proper medical care
our medical practitioners here in naija are 70% responsible for overseas treatment.
what a painful story!

No madam. You got it twisted the politicians are responsible for the poor state of health not the other way around.

@yemiprogress -...crying for this innocent bab
Crying will not solve the problem

The truth is we are too docile as a nation. The youth are weak, they are like sheep, afraid to speak, afraid to protest, afraid to make their voices heard, afraid to educate themselves on their rights.
Stop worshipping politicians. Dino, FFK, Fayose, Buhari, Saraki, et al cannot and do not want your progress. Start asserting your rights. Organize. Join politics. Unfollow all these bastar..ds on fb and twitter. Get a voters card. Start a fb page or whatsapp group. D not sit idly by.

The poor healthcare system will affect you one day no matter how rich or poor.

You are not helpless. You can do something

Shitface:
which kin Nigerian Doctors, the doctor in question was a quack, that doesn't apply to the many doctors that are in Nigeria, u guys should stop this disrespect to your doctors, most people will leave qualified doctors and meet all this roadside doctors and midwives who answer DOCTOR, only for their quackery to be revealed and they come to NL and scream NIGERIAN DOCTORS!!!

dfrost:
Honestly, I still don't get. Tomorrow, someone will say the guy is his/her role model. Someone that denied his family on live television? I no agree with one of my acquaintances that we have no value system again.
