Make them they whine their self
ReplyDeleteHello iya Boys
Most of you BVs are really ignorant. True, some Nigerians in the diaspora come to some new well-equipped private hospitals in Lagos and Abuja, established by foreign trained Nigerian doctors, for medical procedures (especially cancer-related) - because it is relatively cheaper, compared to the costs in their resident countries. There are documentary evidence in these private hospitals. Prof Pate is not your ordinary Nig politician - he is a globally respected health practitioner- Google and read his profile before writing trash here.
ReplyDeleteI believed the story too. Why won’t they come when it is so much cheaper than where they live. And why shouldn’t Nigeria partake in the global medical tourism industry, an industry that is in the tens of billions. Only India, Turkey, Mexico and Panama should get the funds. The shortsightedness of some of you is unbelievable.
DeleteGod gave you gold to walk on and you still believe other ppl’s sand and dust is superior to your gold. Mtsscchhwww
Clowns 🤡 😠😠😠
ReplyDeleteYou dey whine me? 😆
ReplyDeleteA good development. Let the machines be well maintained
ReplyDeleteAnd the technicians be well trained.
DeleteIt's true but they get the needed care from those posh private hospitals like Reddington, Evercare, Duchess etc.
ReplyDeleteThe waiting list/time in the abroad is crazy.
Dey play.. people are coming from UK and US to use Nigeria hospitals but Nigeria politicians and Govt officials are going abroad for ordinary headache..make una dey deceive una self
ReplyDeleteAnd some still died or got maimed in their abroad quest. Not to mention the racism and bad bedside care that some of them received. They never talk of these things though, only that they went abroad. I know so many ppl who were jacked up and ended up in a bad way from medical care they received abroad, primarily in England and the US. Since Covid I don’t trust any of these abroad hospitals cause they are full of tired and overworked staff.
