Viewers Corner’s team visited some University Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria and during the visit, we discovered that university of Portharcourt is among the best but still they lack some medical equipment and the building housing the Teaching Hospital is getting old, no repair work was done to give it a new face look. Somehow, a country’s medical and social care facilities determines to a great extent the life expectancy of an individual in the said country.
Recently, the former governor of Bayelsa state, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was taken to Portharcourt University Teaching Hospital but he unfortunately died of cardiac arrest there according to Viewers Corner’s correspondent in Portharcourt. He was 63 years old and may his soul rest in peace.
Again, based on the information Viewers Corner gathered, we know that every human being on earth must surely die someday but certain situation could be prevented if proper medical attention is administered, therefore Viewers Corner is appealing to President Buhari to please include in his budget on how his administration is going to renovate and equip all the university teaching hospitals in Nigeria to a good standard.
The ministry in-charge of fumigating high risk areas should please visit all the university teaching hospitals in Nigeria including other medical centers and get it fumigated most especially university of Portharcourt Teaching Hospital because the mosquitoes in that teaching hospital and the environment is so much and could also increase the problems those patients are passing through.
This is just an appeal from Viewers Corner, please let us save lives by creating an awareness program as required. Again, because of the poor condition of medical and social care services in Nigeria, this has been the reason why most rich individuals in Nigeria when they are sick, they are flown abroad immediately most especially the politicians because they have the money to take very good treatment abroad but what of the ordinary citizens of Nigeria that can not afford such facilities when such situation arises even a little sickness can kill them just like that which is not supposed to be.
Once again, Viewers Corner is appealing to President Buhari to use his good office and do something about the medical conditions in various hospitals in Nigeria.
