So so sad. All across the country it’s one form of violence or the other.

Morning. What would be the estimated cost for each of these vehicles

Toyota Corolla 2017

Honda Accord 2016

Thanks

What I still don’t understand is why it’s only University and Polytechnic staff that have issues with IPPIS irregularities. How come other parastatals seem to be immune?

No offense op, but I hope you are married and have children already. If you are not, just pray that childbearing would not be an issue for you when you get married.

You get to meet people that are married for years or even decades without a child, and at that level, the prayer is just to give birth. The craze for a particular child sex at that time would not be so important.

Of course the car is insured, so he would not make any loss. The insurance company would make some minimal repairs, so that it at least looks like a car, auction it off on copart, and someone in Nigeria may buy it, fix it up, and be feeling like the biggest boy in town.

The write up is very true, but then, the problem is not that of the Nigerian doctor, rather it’s a systemic issue.

Doctors are supposed to specialize in a particular specialty, and once they are consultants in that field, they get better and gain proficiency by attending to patients with complaints related to that field alone. They do their work with the aid of latest diagnostic technologies. The bedrock of this system is based on the fact that the primary health care centers work efficiently to screen patients that would need to see a consultant and send them to the appropriate specialist.

In Nigeria however, the whole system is on a mess. The primary health care system is virtually non existent, as most primary health care centers in the country do not have doctors, or at best doctors doing their NYSC posting. The nurses and community health officers in these PHCs would label all patients with fever as having malaria and typhoid.

The story at the general hospitals is not too different. There are doctors in these facilities, but they are grossly overworked. Most general hospitals in the country have less than 10 doctors in their employ. Take a stroll into any general hospital and you would see one doctor battling to attend to more than 50 patients in a day. All manners of patients are here to see the doctor, and he has less than 4 hours to attend to these patients. At best he can spare 5 minutes per patient. How can the doctor effectively diagnose and treat a patient in less than 5 mins and we expect not to have cases of misdiagnosis?

At the tertiary hospitals the story is not so different. Here we have the consultants and professors, but then the bureaucracy here makes this the last option for most patients. The patient keeps going round in curl legs and making endless queues before they can meet the consultant. There are a few medical officers and residents who do the most work of filtering the patient and sending them to the appropriate specialist clinics. At the specialist clinics the consultants do not have the appropriate diagnostic devices to make appropriate diagnosis, and when they make diagnosis, they do not have the appropriate medical devices to treat the patients. All this is compounded by the fact that drugs sold in the country are either fake or substandard and do not work as required. Did I also add that the consultant has his own private hospital because of course what the government pays him is not adequate, and so he only spends less than 4 hours in the teaching hospital before he runs down to his own hospital to make some real cash.

The problems are multifaceted, and does not lie solely with the Nigerian doctors. The fact that many doctors keep crossing the shores to other countries daily and these developed countries welcome them and some of these doctors excel in these countries goes a long way to show that the doctors are not the problem. It’s a system problem, and the government must be ready to invest in the care healthcare system of the country, strengthen the primary health care system, and invest in medical infrastructure in the secondary and tertiary health care systems for any improvement in the healthcare system in Nigeria to be achieved.

The other option of course is for the political class and the rich to jet off to any close by country they can afford to seek healthcare, and this unfortunately is the option that has been chosen by the ruling class in Nigeria for the past 3 decades or thereabouts.

Glk2010 upgrade to AMG2015

How much for this facelift?

GeoAfrikana:
Actually, it's not the amount that's the real issue. There are many products that cost more than #600k. But the issue is which value does it add to me that a #100k phone can't?

I think you get the gist.

Lalasticlala

The same way you are asking what value a 600k phone would add to you that a 100k phone can’t add is the same way someone else would be asking what value a 100k phone would add that a 15k phone can’t add. After all Toyota Corolla and
Lamborghini Urus are both cars that would take you from point A to B, but the price difference is humongous.

Last last it’s all about preference, the value a person placed on phones and the amount of money at that persons disposal.

How much would this cost for just the front upgrade, without the back conversion?

TB treatment is free.

Theres nothing to research there.

The drugs for the treatment of TB are free, and this pertains to government hospitals and some private hospitals. Most private hospitals still sell the drugs to patients.

If the patients need to be admitted, that cost is borne by the patients. If any investigation is to be carried out, it is also borne by the patients. They may need other ancillary drugs apart from the anti TB drugs, and the patient needs to bear the cost of all this. Transport money to and from the hospital every 2 weeks may even be a problem for these patients. Remember that these patients with TB are usually poor. These are the costs that are being calculated when we talk about catastrophic costs.

The opening statement of the report starts with “Over the past days, telephone calls from various individuals have jammed Kaduna State airwaves as rumours made the rounds that the state governor, Nasir El-rufai, was involved in a fatal accident in the early hours of Thursday“

Today is Thursday, so which past days is the OP referring to?

I usually don't get angry here on Nairaland,but I think that this doctors and nurse abuse has gone far enough.

I used to work in one private hospital. One night a guy came with his heavily pregnant wife. Wife was having obstructed labour. Husband begged doctor to do operation : money would come later. The doctor...my oga then...did the op. Up till today, husband has not dropped a single penny.

Keep in mind that government hospitals also rely on the revenue they generate in a year....

The reason why they rejected that patient was not because of demons and fallen angels...but because far too many patients are owing bills, and when it begins to affect the perfomance of the hospital...ie in dealing with overheads,providning some essential materials....you have to make a choice.

Treat people for free and go broke...or start being firm...and save money,and jobs.

So please, stop insulting us....especially as some of us use our salary to pay for patients...without expecting reimbursment. And we have dependents and families too.

Grow up.

I worked in a government hospital some time back. The money for oxygen is not paid to the doctors, but to the hospital cashiers and the receipt given to the nurse who brings the oxygen to be used on the patient. It’s the policy of the hospital management, so the health staff can’t do anything about it. It’s a system issue and not about the doctors.

Thanks for the inquiry. Android System Navigation mirror will suffice. See attached images

How much does this cost?

2pm never reach for TVC news?

Very true. However your first statement that ‘Medical avenue is not the only street in the town of quick cash’ makes me wonder if the term quick cash can be used in the medical Avenue. If 13 years to become a consultant (6+ years medical school, 1 year housejob, 1 year NYSC and at least 5 years residency) is considered quick cash, then I wonder what ‘slow cash’ would entail.
