The thing about healthcare

And those that provide it

Alas! We are not doing our best

Negligence, poor infrastructure, unaffordability, and inaccessibility continue to drive the healthcare sector in Nigeria and most African countries.

The government has a role to provide infrastructure
Apex healthcare bodies have a responsibility to provide structure
While doctors and nurses have a responsibility to provide care

They can all be better, but maybe start with care.

Today, Yemi, an extremely bright, kind, and intelligent young man lost his life at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital due to neglect.
It was an asthma attack. He didn’t need much. They just didn't care much.

Alas! That oath might not actually mean much.

When we can do better, why don’t we?

Rest in Peace, Yemi.
