imagine that.. and we get minister for health ..later some mofos go say gej till year 3000..people keep dying from bomb blast, sickness, accidents and most of all poverty. and our Mr president can only think about campaign and blocking the whole vi and ikoyi.I only pity our kids

O boy na so e b for everywhere o.......hmmm.......

Ha! Ogbeni jeki ori e pe o, have you been to ondo state general hospital before? Ondostate general hospitals can compete favourably with any 3 star hospitals anywher within Nigeria, pls I will advice you to stop making such derogatory comparism.

TOKUGAWA:
I was opportuned to visit the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching hospital shagamu Ogun state,o check on my mum who was about to have a Mastectomy surgery.What I saw was beyond pathetic.

I must say OOUTH is an eyesore. I would never pray my enemy visits that place. If not for the fact that the procedure can't be performed in my mum's hospital (NNPC Medical centre Mosimi shagamu). I wouldn't allow her stay a single night there. Stinking and extremely dirty.

The Nurses are very mean and unfriendly,u get to pay for everything from using of toilet and bathing. Power is never available, to use the generator the patients have to contribute money for fueling. You can queue upto 6 hours just to see a doctor.

Mosquito nets are either torn or non-existent. Over grown weeds have taken over the hospital, each block is run by a Petrol generator. Patients on admission have to beg the nurses before they can attend to them. The roofs are falling, the risks of infection is very high here.

The commissioner for health in Ogun state is the son of Wole Soyinka, I'm wondering what the governor does with the state's funds. Despite boasting of record revenue in the history of the state.

Can't imagine a whole Teaching Hospital can be this pathetic, infact I'm so embarrassed to be from Ogun state. Something has to be done, at night its flash lights galore, all the workers at the hospital owns a flash light because never expect power at night.

OOUTH is a glorified General Hospital, infact some general hospitals in Osun and Ondo state are far far better than OOUTH.

The state of health in our nation is highly patethic and we can only pray our administrators see reasons why they should pay more attention to Health Care.

Abeg, help us beg baba onifila gogoro to do something.

Hmmmm

Humm This is very pathetic, I just hope Dr. Olaokun Soyinka Will do something

It is well

TThe state govt is really working but this is an area that has to be payed attention to as well..he state govt is really working but this is an area that has to be payed attention to as well..
I hope this is quickly dealt with b4 it is used against the apc led administration by other party aspirants[/quotey) Rubbish!!!

You have not done a good job. You can't convince rational minds with just one insignificant picture. In addition, there is nothing in that one picture that shows it was taken at OOUTH. This is not a type of call-to-action thread that can spur government to remedy a situation.

You need to go back, take as many strategic pictures as possible and then tell your story. It's not enough to shout, you should do it with common sense.

Oi, what did you expect?

You see, our hospitals are in a bad state because the amount of money spent on them is not enough.

And before you call for increased spending....keep in mind that what the hospital in the UK spends per annum would be about what six, maybe ten (my estimate) teaching hosptals share in Nigeria.

You see, in Nigeria, we have subsidsed health care. This means the govt pays hospitals a fee in return for keeping costs low. The problem is, this limits the amount of money a hospital can raise. Add the fact that if fees go up...there will be rebellion on the streets....and you have the mess we have.

There is also the problem of poor light and water supply, as well as the fact that our hospital facilities are overstretched by the Grand Nigerian Tradition of the family moving into the hospital when someone falls ill. Toilet facilities meant for ten suddenly end up being used by eighty.

There is a solution....and the immediate solution means turning that hospital into a public private entity. And spending more on primary and secondary health care...because 90% of cases seen in outpatients in a teaching hospital could have been taken care of in a PHC.

We may have to increase taxes. And remove fuel subsidy. Because it does not make sense wasting money subsidizing a product of which 40% is imported....the subsidy cash can go into funding hospitals.

Of course...we have to improve power supply. And long term we have to become industrial.....so that our GDP and by extension our treasury would grow.,....and we would have enough cash to fund hospitals galore.

You see....Nigeria does not have enough money because we are a Dutch diseased society. Until we make some hard choices....poor health care is going to be the price we pay for ''cheap''.

Nigerian doctors and nurses be like after all na everyday people dey die. They will neva attend to u on time. God help us

Abeg oga, there's no excuse whatsoever for a Teaching Hospital to be in that condition. Did u read where the OP and other nairalander stated that they pay to use the toilet and bath amongst other things? Be reasonable... What Isn't right isn't right...no justifications at all!!!

My question is - isn't it time we took laws into our own hands? How long will this suffering and smiling continue? See Burkina Faso, it took burning down the parliament building for their president to step down abi resign. We do not have to go that way, but we have the power. Vote them out!! 2015 is here already, be wise, make the right choice!! Secure your future!!!

Nigerians be selling their birth right for half bag of rice and salt...

Hoping your mom recovers quickly OP.

Why did you believe the OP, even in the absence of a convincing evidence?

pishure or itnothappen

No one who has been to a Teaching Hospital in Nigeria is surprised by this story. It's depressingly common. Maybe you need to go on an excursion.

I didnt stress my humble self 2read all but d few lines i read i certainly know dat a yankee would prefer lethal injection 2serving a jail term in such a horrible place called hospital

ProfCorruption:
Why did you believe the OP, even in the absence of a convincing evidence?

And the other nairlanders who confirmed the gory conditions nko? What other evidence do u need Professor of Corruption?

Even if he posted pics, people like you will still find ways to discredit his post...

Enough is enough! The truth is the whole health sector needs revamping, and its our right as citizens to demand this.

The politicians will never do something about such hospitals since they and their immediate families will never visit such hospitals for treatment but rather fly abroad.And yet,we the citizens will keep on shouting their names and even suffer under the sun at political rallies for peanuts or even nothing at all..it seems we are so easy to deceive and defraud.And soon they will come out and start saying african countries are poor despite the news about millions of dollars flying about everyday and those stolen by many politicians.Things can be better only if our rulers want it to be.We can afford better health facilities in this country!

cramjones:
Never mention Wole Soyinka's son or the APC in the mess we find ourselves in. The crook called Onyebuchi Chukwu, and the crook CMD had the mandate to make the hospital world class, but instead of doing so, they stole the money! Oh i recall GEJ calls it "ordinary stealing". Just like the people of Bukina Faso burnt down their presidential villa so shall it be to Aso Rock, the Haramites and the Jonathanians, should they scuttle our bid to retake power! Do the right thing and vote them out. All the best to your mama!

-CramJones

is it a state teaching hospital or federal; whose responsibility is it state or federal: is the university state or federal? Did the state not received their allocation? Lets be mature think and talk like leaders of tomorrow.

china is better than that...

joedejana:
JUST COME TO CHINA

Its really appalling

TOKUGAWA:
To poo u have to cough-out 50 Naira while to bathe is 100 Naira.

And those who steals public funds would rather fly abroad for common flu hahaha 9ja which way na.

MissMeiya:

It's perhaps a common thing but the story as related by the OP is not convincing. It's not a thread you can share with people in government. In other words, it's not actionable. There was a thread on police college that GEJ ultimately was forced to do something. That's a standard way to do an exposition that can bring a change. There was another one on Mellanby hall at the University of Ibadan with its pictures generously displayed on sahara reporters. That was bound to draw attention of people who can do something.

What in this thread can spur you, not even the government, to do something?

Ok. What part of OOUTH needs revamping?
