Na wa o nija, una don run find d man biography. Bet doctor, wot happened to your country Nigeria where u cn save children. Pls com bak, everytin cnt b money buh humanity.
ReplyDeleteEsther everything is not only by talking. Keep ur mouth shut!
DeleteThe reason most leave is not money but ignorance of people that surround and make decisions. How many hospitals in this day and age have the needed equipment, power supply or the training of the support staff? NONE! With all the money Nigetia has! Yes! A few ignorant ruling and making decisions. Go and tell the hospitals how you want to save 1 life and that it will cost 20million to do and hear what you will be told. Nigeria has NO respect for life! And that is why stories like this will never happen there until we have respect for life. People die like animals.. No, not even animals because in other countries they have more respect for animal life than we have for human. So, pls, Stop asking for people to come back to do WHAT when they do. Do you know how hard it is to even come and do charity health fare? Ignorant people asking you for bribe to allow you to help the people? Start with your local chairman even before the state level on condusive atmosphere to practice medicine. How many hospital equipment do they have. Can they get their hands off the bribe for generators so you can have steady power supply for the hospitals? Can you? If not, pls don't bother people.
DeleteKudos!!!

ReplyDeleteIf it were in Nigeria, his colleagues would have ganged up to ensure the end of his career and the woman would have had to pay for treatment before receiving it. Why can't we have a good and efficient health care system in Nigeria so that both our doctors and citizens can benefit from it?
ReplyDeleteWe need more humble professional like Dr Yinka, we need effective and efficient healthcare delivery. God bless Nigeria.
