Can you just imagine th level of wickedness, even with a newly born baby?
Will the hospital MD die, if thieves rob him of the remaining balance of 90K?
If she can struggle and pay 160K under this condition, l am certain she can pay the balance, if given time and some fools here are nonsense.

I have been reading your comments. Your concern for the woman and child is commendable

But the reason why hospitals hold such women captive is simple.

Many hospitals in Nigeria run at a loss. Because there are patients who access care and run off without paying their bills.

As a result, many hospitals have been forced to take harsh measures to make sure patients pay in full

Otherwise they would struggle to pay staff salaries, pay for equipment, pay for consumables, pay taxes and levies and pay bills for power, water and so on.

I worked in a private hospital. Initially the owner was compassionate....till people took advantage of his compassion and ran off without paying their bills.

He had to open other businesses to stay alive

Also, I knew of one guy who came and opened hospital in his home town. He was compassionate . And he had to close the hospital after a year because he got broke.

This woman is a stupid idiot, how can you allow somebody as poor as you to impregnate you when you know that both of you don't amount to anything.
This is a case of pure wickedness, the wicked woman and her wicked partner just want to bring the kid to this world to suffer. People like this deserve death sentence before the state takes over the care of the innocent child.
See eh, in this world no be everybody suppose born, if you don't have the fund to take care of the child, zip up and tighten your panties

Lol
When next they rush you to a hospital for an emergency and the hospital demands full payment of an estimated bill or refers you to another facility when you can’t pay, you will understand the need the keep quiet and let people benefit from getting help while their relatives run around for money

When I was a newbie in the hospital I was at the forefront of treat people before deposit or financial commitments
By the time I constantly had my monthly salary debited for almost 1 year, I learnt to mind my business the hard way
Nigerians are the most ungrateful lots
No wonder doctors Dey japa go Saudi Arabia and Oman

So every private hospital should allow patients go without paying their complete bills?

So that the hospital can struggle in paying its bills and salaries?

Okay

Don’t mind the man
He doesn’t understand that a minor procedure like a Caesarian section can become comeplicated thus inflating a small bill

Have seen one that morphed into a full hysterectomy

You are right, and lord knows I know it, working in medicine and all.

But his anger is somewhat justified. Nigeria is a poor country. Most folks can't afford things easily.

Still, poverty or no, bills have to be paid, both hospital and patient bills

Dear men, if you are not ready to take responsibilities for your actions, zip up.
Man or woman who should best zip up or better still pant up. I don't see the man sleeping on the hospital floor for months. It is the woman who should take more cautious because they're always at the receiving end the most.

Many people will blame the hospital whereas the hospital will pay tax to government,buy fuel for electricity supply,repair generator,buy drugs,gloves and other consumables and still pay the staff.

I am trying to see all sides of the story.

I think the hospital should have let her go after a week or thereabout if she wasn't able to come up with the balance. It is Penny wise pound foolish to hold a nursing mother for six months because she did not pay N90k balance.

No family, no father of the baby, no relatives to look for her. Did she fall from heaven? How did she gather N160k considering she obviously wasn't planning for CS?

Or did she beg one of the hospital workers to let her camp there and they twisted the story?

How was she feeling all these months? Having her bath? Caring for the baby? What clothes was she putting on? Her neighbors knew she went to give birth somewhere and did not bother after not seeing her for six months?

We are talking about a mother and child: one of the treasures we value in our society.

There is more to this story.

I see.

And you don't know how many staff of hospitals have had salaries delayed and haven't been able to feed because patients don't pay their bills

How many private hospitals cannot afford better equipment because they run at a loss because patients cannot pay their bills.

And having been at the recieving end as a staff of a private hospital...salary delayed or cut because the owner has allowed too many people not to pay them bills, or having seen how some private hospitals struggle to pay their bills because people don't pay their bills, or having seen hospitals go broke because of patients not paying...I know.

So you grow up, and face reality.

This your stupid legal gra gra will deny people the right to adequate medical care in future

By the time hospitals start demanding full sum upfront before attending to patients maybe you and the judge will wear a scrub and do the surgery yourself

Or you think staff salaries and drugs are purchased with “the law says”

Please petition the human right desk oga

Restricting her right to liberty is not a debt collection approach sanctioned by law.The management and staff of the hospital that sanctioned this should be prosecuted.
