These people don't care about us, and the painful truth is that ordinary Nigerians are left to suffer the consequences. I have lost three people this year due to this same issue.
A family friend, an elderly woman of about 60, suffered a heart attack and was rushed from one hospital to another, only to be rejected. When she eventually got to LASUTH, there was no hospital bed available for her. She died right there on a stretcher.
Tell me, is Nigeria a joke to us? What kind of country are we living in, where a person can suffer a medical emergency, be rushed to a hospital for help, and still lose their life because there is no bed available?
We are all sitting on a time bomb. In fact, I would say we are living on borrowed time, never knowing who will be the next victim of a system that seems to have little regard for human life.
This may sound harsh or uncomfortable to some people, but it is the painful reality many Nigerians face every day. When access to emergency healthcare becomes a matter of luck rather than a basic necessity, every one of us is at risk.
How many more lives must be lost before those responsible take the healthcare crisis seriously? Must it take the death of someone close to those in power before anything meaningful is done?
Human life should never be treated as though it has no value. Nigerians deserve better. We deserve a healthcare system that saves lives, not one that leaves people dying while desperately searching for help.
