was a pathetic situation in all federal and state-owned hospitals
across the country as services were shut down by medical doctors,

Yesterday, the nationwide strike began, Its so inhuman to think they one could actually not care about certain situation.
It is a pathetic situation in all
federal and state-owned hospitals across the country(Nigeria) as services were shut down
by medical doctors, leaving hundreds of patients, who turned up for
appointments, hopeless.
Women, children and men who turned
up at the hospitals, irrespective of their conditions, were left unattended to.
Luth
At LUTH, many patients suffered more
humiliation, despite the condition of their health. New patients were rejected
outright as not even a single doctor from the cadre of House Officers to
Consultant was around to attend to patients.
Lamentations was the order of the
day in the various wards; patients on admission continued to recount their
woes.
Some of the patients who spoke to
Vanguard on condition of anonymity, for fear of being victimised, said they
were worried about their fate should the strike continue beyond a day, while
others quickly discharged themselves and headed for private hospitals.
Igbobi
At Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, the message was clearly written as patients
were turned back right from the hospital entrance gate. Inside the hospital, no
patient was seen; only a few were sighted in the various wards.
Lasuth
At LASUTH, where majority of the new
patients who were turned back from the various Federal Government health
institutions took their cases, they got the shock of their lives as they were
also told that doctors in the hospital had also joined the strike.
Yaba
At the Neuro-Psychiatric, Yaba, the scenario was completely different as the
Chief Medical Director, Dr. Rahman Lawal, and two other doctors were on ground
to attend to patients.
No patient was turned back when
Vanguard visited the hospital. The out-patients department was in full session.
