Why do Nigerian Public Officials shun Nigerian Hospitals

 

 

For even the most minor ailment, Public officials jet out of the country to get treatment from foreign medical practitioners using the common wealth of the people and the tax payers' resources.

I am inclined to think they get better treatment abroad. Are the people's servant better than the people they serve? Is the common Nigerian not good enough for good medical treatment. They prefer to commit themselves to foreign trained medical practitioners than our locally trained medical practitioners.

All resources should be gathered to improve our health sector, but nay, this wont be. 

How many patients have died from lack of oxygen?

How many patient have died because the hospital has no bed to admit them?

How many patients have died because of striking madical workers?

Why was Mandela not brought to Nigeria or taken to the US for treatment? We steal from our land to invest in foreign land. Money meant for development is stocked away in foreign accounts. Nigeria is one country entangled in an overpowering web of corruption and destructive greed.

 

When one man steals about half of an entire state allocation for two years, that isn't just greed but a destructive one. and this same man who has deprived his people of basic amenities by stealing their money was celebrated in absentia on his birthday elaborately.

I wonder what the future holds for our beloved Nigeria.......

When will our public office holders stop paying medical visit to foreign hospitals?.....Maybe when we decide to include it in the constitution that public office holders should be treated in Nigerian hospitals and their children attend Nigerian schools.
