@nathanielblow Happy anniversary Pastor Nath and Pastor Sarah 🤎

_*WHEN IS TOO MUCH REALLY TOO MUCH*_ _*what we should all be worried about*_ I write this with great constraint, sadness and a profound sense of loss of faith. In the last one (1) month, three doctors lost their lives. Three members of NARD lost their lives. 1. Dr. Salome Oboyi, A Senior Registrar in the Obs and Gynae department of BHUTH Jos 2. ⁠Dr. Jamila Umar Danhassan, A Registrar in Community Medicine Department of AKTH Kano 3. ⁠Dr. Akinjobi Carrington, A House Officer in LASUTH Lagos. It would interest us all to know that this brings the number of Resident Doctors who lost their lives in the last four and a half (4 1/2) months to (10) ten. It would interest you to also know that a Resident Doctor also tested positive (and eventually tested negative for Lassa Fever) in the last 2 weeks. Will it not baffle your imagination to know that a Resident Doctor is battling for her life in a hospital in Enugu following a road traffic accident? I am angry, I am scared, I am afraid I may be next, I am awake to my own thoughts these days and a prisoner to it. Nigeria, what have we done wrong as Doctors? Life is just moving on in Nigeria as if nothing has happened. Of the 9,000 resident Doctors at the federal level and another 1,000 at the state level, 10 have lost their lives in less than 5 months. We have lost over 10,000 Resident Doctors over the last 10 years to Migration and we are on course to loose another 10,000 in the next 10 years with a net deficit of about a thousand (1,000) doctors per year. New recruitment into Residency Training has dropped by more than 40% in the last few years. Attrition rate out of Residency Training has also increased with over 4,600 doctors leaving the shores of Nigeria in 2024 alone. I am sure, Nigeria did not produce more than this number of Doctors from our medical schools in 2024. We now have more Senior Registrars than Registrars, more Senior Registrars than there are House Officers in Nigeria. Add these (now regularly regular) deaths to the statistic, we are surely heading in the wrong direction. Ten (10) is a few too many, especially in Nigeria where these 10 Doctors by population are suppose to cover at least 100,000 Nigerians with a doctor to patient ratio approaching 1:10,000. WHO recommends 1:600 to 1,000. We have approximately 25,000-30,000 Doctors currently actively practicing at various levels and strata of patient care in Nigeria. To cover our entire population, we need over 300,000 Doctors. What the above statistics mean is this. 30,000 Doctors are doing the Job that should be done by 300,000 Doctors. And off the 30,000, Resident Doctors are less than half of that. When doctors die, or any health care professional die, it is a source for worry and panic. Is this not a national crisis? Doesn’t this deserve our attention? What is killing our Doctors? What may be responsible? (not in order of priority); 1. Excess work load. 2. ⁠Lack of Motivation and under appreciation. 3. ⁠Poor Remuneration and excess outstanding monetary arrears. 4. ⁠Challenges in career progression. 5. ⁠Lack of Job satisfaction. 6. ⁠Epidemiological and natural distributions of disease entities. 7. ⁠Security challenges. 8. ⁠Inability to afford services in Nigerian Hospitals. 9. All of the above? 10. ⁠etc 10 care givers gone. 10 healers gone when they were needed the most. Why am I worried; 1. I can be next and the whole country would just move on and I become a statistic. 2. ⁠These hospitals would simply replace them with anyone alive, available and willing. And work will just continue as if… 3. ⁠The Nigerian Health Sector will just continue in its march to decline, silently. 4. ⁠Their families will never be whole again. 5. ⁠The Nigerian Government simply cares little or nothing. The next election is more valuable to Government, certainly. 6. ⁠The Nigerian People are simply too unaware, too poor, too distracted to even notice. @channelstv @seunokin @ARISEtv @tvcnewsng

I am a medical doctor but the Nigerian healthcare system didn’t just fail my mother - it killed her!. And you wonder why we fight? Doctors suffer five times over! while the nation watches in silence and indifference. 1. The indignity of empty hands - We stand before curable diseases armed with nothing: no drugs, oxygen, or hope unless a mother can pay 100% from pocket at a second's notice. A child dies of sepsis because the last bag of antibiotics ran out 2days ago and even we know well the bottoms of our pockets. 2. The heart crush of breaking bad and often avoidable news to fathers who age ten years in ten days or mothers who crumble again, again, and again. 3. The injustice of blame “You killed my brother!” though the stroke window closed hours before they arrived. The nearest CT scanner? A 10-hour round trip on roads that swallow dreams and destroy lives. 4. The insult of alms - We work 100-hour weeks, sleep in call rooms that smell of despair, with salaries that cannot buy a month of antidiabetics for our own parents. 5. The betrayal of silence - When we march, when we beg, when we kneel, Nigerians pray for our “oppressors” and tell us to “manage”. Manage death? Manage grief? Manage a system that chews up patients for breakfast and healers for supper? Worst of all: we know the rot better than anyone and we dread the phone call that says, “Today for you doc.” Because the same eyes that cried for others will bleed unnoticed!. Don't forget Dr Rotifa - 72-hour shift - fell never to rise again. Dr Sumayya - stroke that her earnings couldn't afford to treat. Dr Idris, eye specialist that couldn't afford eye care. Many other silenced tales of woe. We face hell to serve. Yet Nigerians turn up the heat when we scream. How do the tears of your healers leave your hearts as stone? People died for this. Doctors! died!! for Nigerians. We have nothing left to say, only everything left to fight for! #FixHealthcareinNigeria #FixTheSystem #NARDStrike2025 #OperationTICS @nard_nigeria @Fmohnigeria @NGRPresident @NGRSenate @channelstv @ARISEtv

This is the amount of blood a woman loses during childbirth!

The dental students of the University of Calabar are currently in front of the VC office. Pls kindly lend a voice. Over 300 students have been told to leave university and “learn a trade” after the university over-admitted .#SaveDentalStudentsOfUnical

I and my colleagues were the first set of Dental students to graduate from UNICAL and the things we went through can be made into a tragic movie script You’d think the school would learn from this but here we have a university admitting huge amount of students knowing fully well the quota is 10. What was your plan for them? They paid school fees, paid levies, bought texts, wasted time and effort, and now the solution is to transfer? To where? Other schools who have their own quota? Please if you’re reading this, lend your voice. These are lives and futures we’re talking about, they need us more than ever right now. @MDCNOfficial @FatimaKyari @OfficialNUC @NigEducation #SurvivingDentistryInUNICAL

In a five year timeframe, 16000 doctors left this country which equates to 3200 doctors every year and it is projected to be worse in coming years House officers have been owed their salaries for months, why would they choose to serve and remain in a country that's failing them?

Usmanu Danfodiyo University teaching hospital,Sokoto has successfully performed it's first kidney transplant . May Nigeria and Africa succeed ❤️ NNPC / Ayra Starr / Bloody Civilian / Abazz / Peter Obi / Abuja / USAID / Mohbad / Isak / Johnathan / Ronaldo / GOAT / Saliba
