Dollyak:Perhaps your personal opinion. |
Legal framework can be done to give the institutions legal backing. A lot of institutions have operated for years without any act backing their establishment. Not a new development. |
Nigeria will never progress because of the backwardness and religious inclination of a particular region. The election result refers. As far as the SS is concerned, Amaechi is a traitor. Nemesis will catch up wtth him. |
PassingShot:The General has suddenly waken up. They sowed the seed of corruption many years ago. Now he is surprised that corruption has crippled the country? We know the reason he wants change. |
These people are religiously biased fellows posing as medical personnel. I doubt if they are gynaecologists. They don't do research but they report studies done by others. Societies that legalize abortions have lower maternal mobidity and mortality than societies like ours. Less not deceive ourselves by claiming to be morally right. We know how morally corrupt we are. The question is, why is unwanted pregnancies not common among the elites & their daughters? Don't they have sex? Ans: they use contraceptives & have safe abortions by specialists. Who are they deceiving. Hippocrites! |
Taylor86:I love your wish but the power of life & death is in the hand of God. |
Nigeria & Niger were not an entity before the arrival of the whites. We'd different kingdoms traditional & religious practices before they came. I hope there is no plan to advance the propagation of a particular tribe nor religion. |
The guy his infected with gonococcal urethritis. He should see a doctor immediately. If not properly treated, long term complications include urethral strictures & male subfertility. |
The size of the penis is not the issue. The age of the lady, history of pelvic infections and D&Cs breast discharge (galactorrhoea) & history of use of hormonal drugs including pills is very important. |
Lai Mohammed is not intelligent. The APC knows the game is up. We must be sincere for once & give honour to whom honour is due. Despite huge defense budgets in the past, military equipment were not purchase. The military was humiliated because they lacked equipment. Now GEJ has bought equipment for them & they are performing well & a senile, demented, religiously biased politician is talking nonsense. |
nobilis:You're absolutely correct. Some of these medical laboratory scientists are quacks. They do consultations & prescription of drugs in their offices. Some prefer to be called doctors by clients. |
There is need to curtail unionism in the public health sector. The use of touts & other barbaric methods to scare away patriotic officers & doctors from their duty posts should be condemned & erring officers punished. There is an urgent need to implement the Yayale Ahmed Report recommendations. JOHESU members who're not comfortable working in the public service should resign & go into private practice if they think they are indispensable. |
courage54:Its better to say you wouldn't vote for GEJ & then state your reasons than to say nigerians wouldn't vote for him. Your sentiments can't change the truth. The christian minorities in the North & the niger-deltans know who their enemies are. |
I thought the militants are well paid. What concerns them with Calabar - Itu bridge? If they are aggrieved they should go crazy in Rivers/Bayelsa States. |
phantom: the plan is to suspend residency->NARD can't vote at the next NMA edm->strike is called off->suspension is then lifted. masterstroke! |
Hon. Ndudi Elumelu is not a physician. He's a lab. scientist. Privatization of hospitals will be beneficial to most doctors, detrimental to most paramedics & expensive to patients. The FG & the Health Minister should be held responsible for the prolonged crisis because they are not doing things right. Everybody knows how hospitals are managed abroad, then why is the situation different in Nigeria. If the paramedics can do the work of doctors, why are they no patients in the hospitals. There is no sincerity of purpose in this country. |
Johesu should manage the situation, I thought they are doctors. Ebola is a deadly disease & doctors will not call off the strike unless the FG increases harzard allowance. Every body including a clerk in the hospital gets a flat rate of N5,000. |
The Hon. Member may be patriotic but is ignorant about security issues. Nigeria is at war with insurgents/terrorists. Military equipment are expensive. Already lives have been lost. Does he want more lives to be lost because of $1 billion. The legislature does oversight functions, he should tell us how previous defence budgets were spent. |
Nemesis! The evil that men do, live with them. |
I think the nurses have lost focus. I thought nurses own midwifery homes & chemists. Do they want to have private hospitals/clinics. Lets be serious for once. I thought they are laws guiding the ownership of private hospitals. Stopping doctors who are public servants from owning private hospitals is like preventing any other civil servant from being engaged in any other activities outside the working hours. |
Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu should learn from Dr. Emmanuel Nsan, a former Minister of Health who sacked doctors following an NMA strike in 1984. He lost political & professional relevance. |
In addition to the facts stated above, they do not easily adapt to physiological changes in pregnancy like younger women. |
It is difficult to distinguish a pharmacist from a technician in government hospitals because they do the same job: dispense drugs. I'm disappointed that our pharmacists have failed in drug production & research which is their main role. Probably they are getting less roles as salemen/representatives in pharmaceutical companies that is why they want to be consultants in hospitals. |
Very lengthy write-up with little substance in respect to the subject matter. There is difference between clinical practice & academics. The doctor is the head of the medical teams. Patients go to the hospital to see doctors & not a nurse. Medical consultants own patients & not nurses. The issue at stake is politization of the office of CMDs/MDs. They want to stay in office & make money. The situation is unfortunate. |
Nigerians are generally myopic & docile when it comes to issues of national interest. An example is the issue of protesters gathering in Abuja fighting the government instead of coming up with useful information or strategies that will help government to stop the insurgency in the North. The systemic decay in the country is such that if you didn't get monetary reward as at when due, then your future is doomed. That explains why politicians get jumbo pay. Doctors also need money. Why do paramedics want to be consultants in the hospitals? Is it because of best practices or to get more money? The problem lies with a corrupt, inefficient system: FMOH, NASS, Professional bodies etc. & the nigerian people. |
In efik/ibibio language: Uwemedimo means life is wealth; Edet means a child born on Aqua Ederi (Sunday). |
frankben: I pity this nation... If this were to be in Europe.... These doctors would be sacked before the commencement of the strike... You dare not joke/tamper with a person's life... They are threatening the existence of mankind in this nation... There is God oOn the contrary, doctors rarely go on strike in Europe because their demands are usually attended to promptly. On few occasions that they went on strike, their demands were met within few hours. Its only in Nigeria that doctors go on strike for months. |
From what is going on in the health sector, it is obvious that government cannot run the system efficiently. Politics & sentiments have over-ridden common sense. The NMA (medical doctors) have their problems but Johesu (paramedics) don't seem to know their functions in the hospital. As their name imply, they are simply hospital support staff. The issue here is poverty (what do I take home). The doctor is the head of the team. There are different specialties/subspecialists in medicine. The healthcare delivery system cannot function properly without them. He sees patients, makes a diagnosis & outlines management. The nurses (largest in number) are the custodians of patients, they observe them & give feedback to the doctors. The laboratory scientists/technologist/technician etc. are domicile in the lab. & can work on samples without necessarily having contact with patients. Few of them are needed in a hospital. The pharmacist are not primarily trained to work in the hospital. Few of them are needed to run the hospital pharmacy. The Johesu press release is a document designed to misinform the public & to gain undue relevance & fringe benefits. Strikes in the health sector is detrimental to the patients. They should be alternative ways of settling industrial disputes. Finally, government should begin a gradual process of partnering with the private section to run her hospitals. This is the only way the system can be efficient. |
Unecessary & useless policy formation & circulars based on sentiments by the FG should be blamed for the crisis in the health section. New bills are passed & old similar bills were not repealed. |
The northerners were myopic in tactically supporting BH. The multiplier effect has affected the economy of the area. People are running away in numbers. A lot of them will end as beggars in the South. |
Nigeria has gone to the dogs. No more political ideologies. Politics of personal interests & self preservation. How can a person that is not a member of a party be proposed to be a presidential candidate. APC is really despertate to win elections. |
The elders have lost touch with reality. If they want to occupy Aso Rock they should contest elections. There are proper channels to address issues. OBJ's letter is a distraction. OBJ & his cohorts have lost political relevance. At their age they are not very productive. They are playing retrogressive politics. |
