[size=14pt]Nigerian Government to sanction health practitioners prioritizing money over saving lives[/size]

The executive secretary of the National Human Rights Commission has asserted that the federal government was in total objection of the manner in which health operators in Nigeria prioritise money over saving lives.

He added that right to healthcare was fundamental and that government was ready to take drastic measures against any health institution or hospital that denied a patient medical attention with attribution to lack of funding bills.

Nnamdi this ur English odikwa risky.

I hope it includes jail time...some doctors are psychopaths and they don't even realize it. especially those who hide behind order, leaving emergency victims to die in agony

God has come to help the poor

That money they are using to travel abroad, they should use it to pay health practitioners. Nobody learns a skill to use and not be paid for it. How will they feed their children if they offer free care

All we have here is money making hospital, not live saving.

Government always yapping as usual with no action.

That would be nice... www.zainabsblog.com

Sometimes u can't blame them, nigerians are so dubious , some will not pay the money or even pay the complete amount, I support saving lives first , every bad dubious trick dey first come from nigerians

It can only happen in Government hospitals but not private. Am also a health practitioner but sometimes it has to be done that way so people can be serious. I know how many times I have helped without deposit and my salary ends up being deducted.

Good one. Nigerian Doctors are so inure to death that human lives worth nothing to them anymore. How can one watch people die just because they were not able to make the initial deposit demanded by the hospital before they could be attended to.

They are all after the money, no one cares about the lives.

Hope govt will also be prosecuted for asking patients in dire need of care to make payments before they are treated. Hope people that need intensive care will get admitted whether or not they have money. Intensive care is not a luxury but a necessity (it costs a 250k deposit in some federal hospitals).
Hope patients will get blood when they need it, with or without payment (blood is life as u all know).
In short, many things need to be put right, so many things. Making this pronouncement is just playing to the gallery.

I hope the so called government is ready to provide all resources to deliver the health care because it is the healthcare provider who knows where it pinches or hurts when you cannot save live just because there is no facility.

Nice one

So many people have died already because of this. Why stop it now?

I disagree with you ma. Save a life first. Imagine yourself at a point of death and people are busy snapping pictures and taking a video of you like the ALUU 4, what will you say?

It can only be done in government hospitals!
Nice development by the way.

I believe its for the government hospitals...





..and they should get ready for enough refferals..




Case Closed..

Spot on.Playing to d gallery exactly.
I work in d emergency room and 1 thing I know is that d doctors and others are always willing to help but in d end d system defeats U.
For example,an unknown accident victim is brought in by a passersby or road safety,he has bled a lot and needs blood.U meet d lab ppl for blood from d bank and they tell U that management said no blood wtout deposit.
The pharmacist gives U a few drugs and tells U that's all,he can't give further wtout deposit.
Ofcos,approaching d lab or radiology for investigations wtout payment is out of d question.
So I don't know if govt is going to penalise itself.

But will you help her pay her bills? Are you supporting her with something small now that things are so expensive and her salary keeps getting deducted because she helped patients who absconded and never came back to be honest and pay for the services rendered? Or should get and her dependents suffer because they went to Medical school? Since Nigerians are selfish, then out medical staff should be selfish.

I understand your point and also understand the situation of things in the country. She seem like someone with a good heart but circumstances around her wouldn't let exercise those gesture towards mankind as God would want her to.

I therefore expect her to at least support the motion since she didn't own the clinic where she is being treated for being kind to people but she sounded like if she own her own hospital tomorrow, she would neglect people in need. Nobody chose the horrible predicament that befell them because we have no control over certain things.

Have you seen a video of a pregnant woman who needed urgent medical attention because one of her twin died in her womb, wherein she was neglected because of medical bills and she died right there at the front of the hospital and the unqualified sister had to slit her tummy with a blade to save the second twin however she lost that one too. Stupid Africans stood by to video the happenings and circulate it instead of helping get helped however possible.

There has to be some sort of programmes in place by the health ministry to help curb such problems when they occur like we have in developed worlds. Or why do some Nigerians travel to the UK with pregnancy just abuse the medical system over there and unfairly flees tax payers hard earned money? According a report by a Nairlander some months ago, one Nigerian woman was refused in the UK because she couldn't pay the medical bills and they refused her from taken advantage of their medical system. She had to come back here but unfortunately, she died before she could make it. Imagine the stupidity.

Something has to be done, something can be done.

All nigerians are hell-bound,we are so bad and heartless. A man receives healthcare and absconds sometimes the police arrests the doctor for treating a person. We are just so bad a people. Ironically they are all in church now praying to a God that has rejected them already. Evil people Nigerians! .
In other countries,the patient will in honor and appreciation pay his/her hospital bills but not here not Nigeria

They should start with UNIZIK medical centre,if they are really serious about it.
