Looking4Trouble:
Ask your brothers in UK and Canada, they will tell
You that they have been sneaking to Nigeria for health care because the sector has totally collapsed in UK and Canada

malali:
When will Tinubu's administration declare a national emergency on Nigerian Healthcare.

If he as the president sneaks abroad for treatment every now and then, Imagine the common citizens with the same ailments as the president.

Are Nigerians always going to be left to die because of poor healthcare ??

The Nigerian healthcare system is in complete shambles—an unmitigated disaster that has been left to rot while those in power turn a blind eye and jet off to foreign hospitals for even the most basic medical care. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must answer one pressing question: When will he declare a national emergency on healthcare? When will he open a war room and command center to tackle this crisis head-on?

A Collapsing System

Hospitals across the country are dilapidated, underfunded, and neglected. Primary healthcare centers look like death traps—with rusted beds, broken equipment, and a complete lack of essential drugs. Patients are forced to sleep on the floor while their families scramble to buy basic supplies that should be readily available. Women die during childbirth, children succumb to preventable diseases, and accident victims perish due to lack of trauma care. Yet, the government remains deafeningly silent.

The Exodus of Doctors – Who Will Be Left?

Nigeria is bleeding medical professionals at an alarming rate. Over 10,000 Nigerian doctors have fled to the UK, US, Canada, and Saudi Arabia in the past five years alone. Who can blame them? The conditions in which they are expected to work are unbearable—poor wages, non-existent equipment, and zero career incentives. Meanwhile, Nigerian hospitals continue to deteriorate, leaving untrained, overworked, and under-equipped medical personnel to handle an increasing burden of disease.

A Leadership That Prefers Foreign Hospitals

The hypocrisy is astonishing. The same politicians who should be leading the charge to fix healthcare in Nigeria are the first to abandon it.

The President? Off to Europe for medical check-ups.

The ex-President? London hospitals.

The Ministers, Governors, Senators? They all sneak out for treatment abroad.

House of Representatives Members? They too join the bandwagon.

How can they possibly claim to care about the Nigerian people when they refuse to use the very system they are responsible for improving? If Nigerian hospitals are not good enough for them, why should they be good enough for the citizens?

Time for Action – Declare a National Emergency Now!

Enough is enough. This is no longer a policy issue; it is a national crisis. Tinubu must:

Declare a state of emergency on healthcare and treat it with the urgency of a national security threat.

Establish a healthcare war room and command center to oversee real, immediate reforms.

Enforce a strict ‘No Medical Tourism’ policy for government officials—fix the hospitals or get treated in them.

Drastically increase funding for primary healthcare centers and launch an urgent upgrade of hospitals nationwide.

Implement policies to stop the mass exodus of doctors by improving wages, benefits, and working conditions.

The Nigerian people are suffering, dying, and being failed daily. Healthcare is a fundamental right, not a luxury. Mr. President, when will you act? When will you stop the decay? When will you finally prioritize the lives of your people over political posturing?

History will not be kind to leaders who ignored a dying nation. The time for empty promises is over. Declare a national emergency on healthcare—now!
