This same negligence killed my elder brother in LASUTH Ikeja. We had everything they wanted. Just to conduct test, they delayed for many hours.

It was when my brother died they requested for autopsy..

I would never advice anyone to visit any of the teaching hospitals. They are death-homes

PrettyCrystal:
A heartbroken man has narrated how his brother passed away at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) due to the alleged negligence of medical personnel. According to the bereaved identified as Yommy, his brother named Segun (pictured below) died at the hospital despite all the screams from him that the case was an emergency. 

He alleged that the hospital officials ignored him for hours and later attended to his brother but by that time, it was already late. His brother passed away in his arms.

Read below what the heartbroken man shared on Facebook; 

All the General Hospital in Nigeria is nothing but a dead zone center where every patient is not sure of coming back alive. Their nonchalant attitude killed my brother. We got to navy town hospital they said no facilities to treat him that we should go to Lagos university teaching hospital.(Luth) we got there around after six(6).

We were shouting emergency emergency emergency nobody answered not even the security were moved. Then I call a matron working there she was off duty but did her best to call some people on duty. Despite are call they didn't answer.  my brother was struggling for breath in held him telling him the we never plan to depart this way.

He was calling my name and other peoples name. I was shouting doctor pls nurse pls don't let my brother die. they didn't answer even people around that brought patients they said that is how they use to do.

All efforts was abortive my brother struggled for more than 5 hours. It was even inside the small shuttle bus inside the hospital compound they gave him drip. All what they requested for we gave them. It was past 8 my brother stop struggling he became weak couldnt breath again was just moving his legs.

That was when they brought their bed for us to put him Inside it was not up to 10 minutes I was asked to control myself that my brother is gone.

They killed my brother because he wasn't given attention despite having money to purchase all they requested for. My GOD will judge them all. Segun rest on and sleep well I will forever miss you. Sun re.

It is well with you... May God gives you the fortitude to bear the lost.
That is Nigeria and the system. Any time I hear people talking about LUTH, I flashed back to my late father and all what he went through from the so called students doctors and non qualify doctors in that hospital.
I have no much to say than to pray for you and your family, for God strength and favour, and by God grace you and your family will never have any reason to cry again.

Hold Buhari responsible
He ran the health sector to the ground

Only because he can use tax payers money to travel abroad for medical treatment

Nope....the issue is we need at least 2 trillion naira if not more to fund the health care sector properly.

We also need to increase taxes, ESPECIALLY since oil is not as high as we need it.

It is not a defence of Bubu...it is the sad cold fact.

The truth is....you want good health care, you have to pay for it. The UK spends billions of pounds on health care...far more than Nigeria's budget for the year. And much of that cash comes from high taxes.

I won't mind if we vote out APC...but the thing is....health care is very very expensive. Workers are poorly paid. And there isn't enough cash for facilities.

As a member of NRC, I learnt how to administer First Aid. Atlesst stabilize a victim until professional help comes.

with all the OP wrote, na hook they do u... who are u self?.... eediott...

Sue the darn hospital...raise as much dust as you can. This got me really pissed.

Another day ,another story

So sad. A young promising life has just been cut short, just like that.

This sad incidence captures the stark reality of the state of our healthcare system and also the failure of leadership and other institutions that are supposed to make things work.

I was at Luth last year and I was shocked at the state of decay of infrastructure and other facilities on ground there.

So bad, so so bad...

Buhari and any serving politician will not do anything about it cos if they or any of their family members have a headache, they run abroad to get treated in hospitals built by their fellow, but more principle politicians in those countries.

Someone wins a house of assembly election and he relocates to Lekki or Maitama, how then can he genuinely canvass for the development of his original constituency? Someone becomes a president or governor and he and his family no longer get treated in Nigeria or his children study here, then why would he be genuinely concerned about improving the health and educational sectors? Generally, Nigerians in power (including doctors at LASUTH and LUTH) are cold.

Nigerians, we have a long way to go and the real answer is a revolution where none of the current players, aspiring ones (down to the SUG level) and their families are not a part of the new dawn!

How much has Buhari spent in London for his routine check up so far?

Since we need money

It's quite unfortunate for you and the hospital!



Unfortunate for you because you lost your brother.

Unfortunate for the hospital because they've saved thousands of patients this year that don't grace nairaland front page.

it is not just the hospitals, all over Nigeria the workforce especially at the middle and lower cadres are not motivated. Those at the top are just eating all the money so take heart and when you get to the top ensure the middle and lower cadres are highly empowered and motivated.

In Nigeria the only prayer is. God don't let me need these doctors or hospital for any reason.

Many of them don't even know jack.

Nigeria, why all these maladies? when Will Nigerian teaching hospitals wake up to saving lives? Disheartened!

Sharpshooota:

What Bubu has spent abroad (about N500million) cannot adequately fund one teaching hospital for the year. (OAUTH budget a few years ago was N10billion).

Now, I want all our leaders to stay at home ad get treated....but the truth is, if we want good facilites....like they have in the UK or US ....we either pay heavy taxes, or hope oil goes above $140 PER BARREL...and increase hospital fees into the bargain.

Lord knows I was no PDP fan, and I am not an APC fan....but the reality is, Nigeria is not a rich country...which is why Bubu should have taken more measures to actively diversify our economy.

Buhari why are you fattening the minister of health to the detriment of nigerians? Why?

My mother was wrongly diagnosed at federal medical centre, ebute metta. Running unnecessary tests up and down before my brother asked me to take her to Ikeja reddington hospital where she was diagnosed with peptic ulcer.

Govt hospitals are no no and no for me.

RIP

Only five hours negligence and ure here disturbing us,wat abt those dey tolf to go and come back in a month time.

huh, not far from truth state of Nigeria's problem. Every element of our problems is rooted to officer holders, who don't care of others, but their own.

those people just dey chop money...

This guy is just too quiet.
I will destroy things in the hospital till they treat him. Or call the police.

most death in this country is carelessness

Hopebringer:
Only in Nigeria do you see disgusting stories like this

The animal kingdom never disappoints

Useless Buhari is receiving foreign healthcare and good for nothing bastards are supporting the dullards.

According to WHO, 25% of the total budget should be for health but in Nigeria its les than 5% we focus more on irrelevant things that doesn't matter
