Some hospital staff have been suspended over alleged gross misconduct and negligence towards a patient in Calabar, Cross River state. It was gathered that on Friday evening, a pregnant woman in labor was brought to PHC Mayne Avenue.

Rather than hospital workers helping her into the labor room, they demanded for N20,000 for surgery and allegedly pushed the woman out of the facility when she didn't pay despite her pain. It was alleged that a trained nurse named Eme Bassey used mop stick to beat the woman, claiming that she bit her hand with her teeth..

The pregnant woman went to the grass in front of the facility where she struggled on her own to deliver her baby and was aided by a member of the community and other passer by. When finally the woman put to birth, the youths in the community went into the health facility to move the said nurse out to ensure she assisted the woman. It was then she reluctantly came out to help the woman deliver her placenta and finally let her into the facility.

The Director General of Cross River State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Betta Edu when called, arrived the facility in complete shock that women could give such treatment to a fellow woman.

The DG, with immediate effect suspended all the staff involved and the PHC coordinator who supervises then. All staff involved are to face disciplinary committee and night face tough sanctions including dismissal if the board so decides.

In my state!

Nawao.this our country ehn.
If it's truly a primary health centre, chances that 20k they are requesting from the innocent patient is illegal is very high. Na this kinda people too will be complaining the govt is corrupt. We got a long way to go before this our country can be better for us all.

Okay, i hear they have been suspended. Thats not what the law says though.

The police should be involved, there should be prosecution in this case.

1. That nurse witch endangered two lives, mother and baby.

2. She flouted the law by denying medical service to a citizen in distress.

3. She used weapon on a defenseless person.

4. Battered a pregnant woman and put her and baby at risk.

She should face jail time.

Woman to woman is so unfair...

Na wah

Devil in human form

They said a trained nurse and not a graduate registered nurse.
So my question is does she know the law?

It's high time we look into the menace of Auxillary nursing in our society.
Because I believe no registered nurse or midwife will do this, because they won't want to risk their license.

The way nurses wicked for this country ehn
