Hello
I have a 4 months and two weeks old baby, she is diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Help recommend a good hospital I can have her shunted.
It's an emergency.
Thanks

TundeWX:
Nizamiye Hospital,Abuja

factorian:
Kindly advise how I can locate it. Is it a privately or a government owned hospital?
Thx

TundeWX:
Its private...around Idu industrial area abuja,close to life camp .
I'll advise you go for the Lagos state teaching hospital tho

factorian:
I don't want her treatment delayed anymore. Can luth offer emergency treatment? She have been suffering for the past 4 months of her life. Those pressure needs to be reduced from her head. Btw, I've put a call through to the hospital, they said they'll speak with their neurosurgeon and get back to me

TundeWX:
You know how government hospitals are...protocols and unnecessary delays...at Nizamiye its good you've contacted them,its immediate...Try and alert the LASUTH if you have someone in lagos to comfirm..
Wish ur kid all the best,cheers

factorian:
Hi again!
Please do you live in abuja? If yes. Can you recommend any affordable hotel for me? I've booked an appointment with the hospital. Just worried about accommodation.
Thank you

TundeWX:
Hi there..Glad to hear that.
Hotels in abuja can be a bit pricey,especially one with close proximity to the hospital...your best bet will be to book a shortlet apartment on AirBnB or JiJi( JiJi most preferred). You'll see apartments tailored to ur choice around the hospital area like galadimawa,Life camp,etc

factorian:
Thank you for responding. You don't know what this means to me, I'm grateful. I don't know how that works though but I'll check and get back to you.

TundeWX:
No problem bro

factorian:
Thank you.
I want to ask one more question, is that hospital averagely priced? Or they charge at an exorbitant rate? Like I said, I want her treated as an emergency but the fact that the hospital is located in abuja gives me goose bump already.

TundeWX:
There rates are high bro,I won't lie...but rest assured its going to be done professionally and successfully

factorian:
Thank you! I'm anxious to hear what the cost will be. Do you know any affordable hospital in lagos. Just incase that hospital is not affordable for me. Sorry if I'm a bother.
Many thanks

TundeWX:
Not a bother bro
LASUTH also treat the ailment.i believe the cost will be subsidised,if I recall well they treat hydrocephalus around 500-600k abt 2-3yrs back,but you know how Government hospitals are.

factorian:
True. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thx
