The main problem with our healthcare system is funding...and funding is problematic because

1.First, our earning capacity is not enough. We would need to have a budget in excess of $200billion or more to have a well funded health care system on par with the developed world. But the thing is, the oil money we earn does not make enough for us to live on. And corruption finishes the rest.

2.Nigerians themselves are not paying enough in taxes and health care fees for the system to work. We insist on paying $500 for a Caesarean section that cost $40000 in the USA, and then expect our system to function like the USA own.

The truth is, you cannot expect $20000 performance with $20. That is what we have been doing in Nigeria.

Not necessarily.

Nigeria is not a poor country. The main issue is that the decision makers and leaders do not have the will to put funds in the sector. Applies to other sectors as well, look at Education, even the fundamental Power sector. They would rather loot the money meant to develop the country. So now, let them face the consequences.

helinues:
Yet billions are been awarded yearly on health care

God punish all of una

Yes, particularly those who for the past 5 years still brought NO CHANGE. And their supporters too.

Such an achiever. May she rest in peace. Amen.

Good initiative, I support imposing an age limit but age 12 is way too high.

ddippset:
So because you expected Buhari to be different,

When mentioning the cause of the problems you pardon your pdp friends abi?

And you hug them and don't mention them abi?

This is the reason why i say that we are worse than our leaders.

Far worse!

They pardon their pdp friends, while you defend your apc friends. There is no difference between you and those you are pointing fingers at. You all should continue to play politics with your future.

ipobarethieves:
The Igbo man(Doc)that died nkoh ?if not beta medical facilities,wetin bubu and other irresponsible criminals Dey find go do in uk,Germany etc hospital ?What happens to Abuja hospital?iranu

Your ignorance has no part 2.

Ayomarcel:
Our immune system is different. Some people might have it without knowing and the virus will leave your body and you won't still know had it.

The level of ignorance on Nairaland these days is just unbelievable. Google is free but people won't use it to educate themselves.

ipobarethieves:
these clown -thieves sha.So Makinde is now free while Boris with beta medical facilities still Dey hospital. What is the brand medicine our doctors Dey use ? Dey should help USA,Europe biko .Dis wuruwuru jazz ehn

Wow. So you are comparing two different bodies with different composition and medical profiles? And you sincerely think covid recovery is based on medical facilities?

JAMO84:
Kudos to the Chadian army, but stop giving me the crap about President Deby leading anything. He did not fire a single round, he wasn't the commanding officer. He just turned up in military regalia at the bigging of the operation in order to boost the morale of the military personnel!!!

Did I also mention that the Nigerian army pushed the terrorists to the fringe of the lake Chad region were they attacked and killed 91 Chadian soldiers!

I AM DONE TALKING

You would be better off NOT TALKING!

Chad's president has shown what leadership is about.

Later they will carry gramophone and start preaching all over the place, but simple practicing of what they preach, they cannot.

Jeromejnr:
You highlighted a comment but used a plural word to address his whole premise.

Besides, this is a public forum not a private room chat.

Learn to be open to correction and stop nagging like the typicals.

[/s]

Jeromejnr:
You cant dodge your error madam and fault me.

You said all the statements he made were wrong.

Key word: All.

And I addressed one particular issue.

Next time, know how to critic an argument.

And next time, learn to mind your business. It's not that hard. You are not blind as you clearly saw what was highlighted in his comment I quoted. Irritant.

Jeromejnr:
He is right madam.

Read my own comments slowly and update yourself with current medical news.

I am not interested in your comment, you are not the one I quoted and you are discussing something different from what I highlighted in his comment "In UK there is no total discharge but isolate them still" which is false. So pls find someone else to bug.

Jeromejnr:
He is right.

Maybe you should read the comment again, slowly. He was talking about those who have recovered still BEING KEPT IN ISOLATION after recovery.

apholaryn:
for u and ur family bro but y una just get evil mind huh...

Don't mind them. Very pessimistic evil minded people.

castrol180:
I fear for Nigeria medical personnel with this poo they're performing. Don't you know the remnants of the virus on the discharged ones can still resuscitate to affect other people. In UK there is no total discharge but isolate them still.

That is a LIE. Infact, your whole statement is an absurd lie.

crackkhaus:
Spoken like a true slave...a victim of the mental fvckery that years of colonialism has effected on his pyche.

What has your beggar and destitute analogy got to do with treating every human like a human and nothing less? Destitutes may not be viewed as royalty but common sense demands they be treated as human as the next person.

When you begin to see that everyone is a human first before being African or Asian, European or American, then you will begin to grow some sense and see racism for exactly what it is and not a function of irresponsible leadership.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I hope all of you that ooh and aaah over Explorers' pretty oyinbo pictures can put things in perspective now. You guys keep subtly elevating everything foreign, while they see you as mere testing candidates for their selfish interests.

jimyjames:
Op give us the full list

So that you guys can get into the mud and start tribal e-war. Nah.

VillageHead:
Not so my sister!

I can't wish any of my countrymen dead for any reason.


I am worried based on what obtains overseas where they have better technology and medication to combat this disease - they don't discharge patients so quickly as we do here. They take their time.

Thank God o.

I understand where you are coming from but I am sure they are following the right process.

From info online:
Using available preliminary data, the median time from onset to clinical recovery for mild cases is approximately 2 weeks and is 3-6 weeks for patients with severe or critical disease. Although conclusive answers are yet to be documented, doctors say the time it takes to recover depends on the severity of symptoms, age and other medical conditions of the patient.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has reported that about 80 per cent of COVID-19 cases globally are mild, which means these cases, which usually involve fever, cough and perhaps shortness of breath, recover without much of an issue. And the younger the patient with no other medical complaints, the greater are the chances of quick recovery. Some patients, it has been reported, may not even be aware that they are sick.

VillageHead:
The way these people are declaring patients negative within a twinkle of an eye marvels me.

Hope the patients are not being declared negative to malaria instead?

Wait, so you want them to keep them isolated even after they have recovered? What is there to marvel about in a person recovering and being discharged? Are you wishing they died instead?

Kudos to the LASG.

No ambulance. What kind of country is this? Money for the ambulance is certainly sitting in someone's bank account somewhere. Corruption will be the undoing of Nigeria.

tammie24:
patronage?

Tot they were making them for free

That's what citizens of other countries are doing now

Making free mask for people to be able to cover up and protect themselves and others

What stops YOU from making free face masks?

oluwasegun007:
Can Nafdac follow up with the production, so that we don't abuse standard.

Do you know what NAFDAC's role is? Do you know what the F and D in NAFDAC stand for? Fyi, a face mask is not a medical device. Surgical mask, yes, but not face mask.

***The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is a federal agency under the Federal Ministry of Health that is responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, sale and use of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, chemicals and packaged water in Nigeria.

APCNig:
Nigeria is teaching Corona Virus a lesson of it's life. While they are dying in thousands in the so called developed nations, Nigeria is treating and discharging formerly infected patients. We are not just giant of Africa, we are giant of the world.

Our leaders are not arrogant like Donald Trump who has continued his boasting, chest beating and spewing trash while Americans have continued to die in thousands. We have recorded TWO DEATHS so far and treated and discharged many that means whatever we are doing about the COVID-19, we are doing it well. So, USA, Italy, Spain, France and others should get book and biro, get table and chairs and sit down in a class while Major General Muhammadu Buhari and our Starboy Babajide Sanwo-Olu teach them CRS 101: Introduction to Crisis Management.

Deluded sycophant.

Maybe your Major General should apply the same crisis management to enable his country have 24 hour electricity and he should stop his medical tourism in the same UK you mentioned whilst at it.

Nigerians' luck with COVID has absolutely nothing to do with Mr Covik 1,9. Sanwoolu deserves far more credit than federal government.

Big kudos to the health workers giving their all despite working in a country that owes them salary indiscriminately. Those are the real MVPs.

9jaRealist:
The Covid-19 virus does NOT move...
It is NOT airborne or otherwise mobile.

It’s PEOPLE who move - and spread it around...
Those returnees (and your pal) should’ve sat their behinds in one place!
>

That is YET to be proven.

A pathogen is considered ‘airborne’ if it can spread via smaller particles which can remain in the air for long periods of time, and it is not yet known for how long coronavirus stays in the air around us.

The exact length of time viral particles in general hang in the air before they dissipate depends on a variety of things, including the temperature and humidity of the area and other mitigating factors about the surrounding environment.

Due to COVID-19 being a new virus, the exact amount of time it spends in the air before falling to the floor or a surface is unclear.

madridguy:
Change for what? I am with Sai Baba come rain come sunshine.

So who are the shameless LEADERS you are referring to?

stanisbaratheon:
The position some of them take sometimes is shocking and at the same time laughable.

And also shameful. They have no integrity or self respect at all, all these paid agents. Esaus.

einsteine:
Innoson CANNOT make a ventilator. A ventilator is not a car AC. There are software that have to be developed to work in concert with the patient's vital readings. In essence, ventilators are specialized equipment. Even when Trump told car manufacturers in the US to start making ventilators, he was told it would take time before they can get up to speed on that.

At best, Innoson would make some mechanical respirators, not something a patient would want to trust their life with

Those that make ventilators, do they have 2 heads? If car manufacturers in the US can make one, given more time, what stops car manufacturers anywhere else in the world from doing so?

stanisbaratheon:
If you can't differentiate between what is recorded and what is not, then I'm afraid you'll will also mistake Nollywood movies as live broadcast.


The United States government didn't sit and wait for countries to donate relieve materials to them while their lawmakers buy cars.

Never say never with these people. You would be amazed.
