Ashuale:
Sorry for the loss.
With this degree and percentage burns in the picture attached, it is not a general hospital case. There's a unit in teaching hospitals called BURNS and PLASTIC UNIT where this kind of case is handled. I don't have the details of this story but going to "all the GENERAL HOSPITALS" is actually unbelievable. People see REERRAL as REJECTION in this clime.

Yes they have the right to reject especially if hospitals don't have the basics such as oxygen. I cannot admit you as an emergency and be looking at your face. Stop blaming doctors and blame the government, stupid

munas:


Idiot son of a thousand fathers.
This is Nigeria and there is freedom to move from one part of the country to another.
Fools like you should note that since the government has decided to concentrate strategic infrastructures in certain places,the people will be force to migrate there for a better business environment. Yoruba Bastard

Tolumiide:
they should have referred they to where she can be better attended to, and even offered ambulance to conveyed her. just to do something for humanity sake. pls understand me this is someone's mother, wife and loved you.
point of information, I am not stupid, I am a concerned Nigerian. And the next victims maybe someone that you can not just imagine their pains but their experience.

I apologise for my choice of words.
I know the standard protocol for referral . Unfortunately ,some persons will never understand why we refer. Most, think doctors refer in in order to dodge work or if they cannot see money from errant or poor parents.
The mind of an average Nigerian is rotten, sir

All the General hospitals in Lagos? Does she know how many general hospitals in Lagos and where they're located? Did they all give reasons for not admitting her? I feel bad for her all the same. I can imagine how painful and frustrating it is trying to get much needed help for your loved one to no avail. May God console the bereaved and rest the soul of the departed.

toprealman:
I'm sure your little mind cannot comprehen that the family is making a case for this rejection which is uncalled for.....dimp!

rayobaba:
hello, she's passing a message not exposing her body, havent u seen woman body before!

drphantom:


Was she rejected or was she referred? There is a difference sir

Sagay212:



All the general hospitals are useless. Even if they admitted her, they know they cannot treat her because they either do not have the facilities to do that or they don't even know how to treat fire victims. That is why it is very important to have money in Nigeria. That's why the politicians will never treat themselves or their families here even in a private hospital. They know they have rendered everything useless.

Pray never to have or see anything that will require you or any of family members to need to visit any government hospital for treatment. they'll frustrate you and make your sickness worst or hasten your death. the government hospitals in nigeria have killed a lot of people due to lack of facilities, stupidity and laziness on the part of the doctors and nurses. the way they even attend to you like they are being forced to do the job is so annoying. they got no sympathy of any kind. hospitals that you'll go to and they'll tell you there is no bed or you have to pay for bed space. majority of the idi.ots working there don't even know their job functions. Ask them simple questions or ask for direction and they'll be looking like fools. worst is they are very rude and ugly. that useless luth has killed more people than boko haram

MemphisRaynes:
No value for life even by our Health institutions, despite their "hypocritic" oath. This is the same way a Hospital in Nigeria dischared my Mom in her worst state, only for her to die in another Hospital.

Nltaliban:
Our government have neglected these general hospitals... Incompetency and sluggishness + lack of facilities have lead to loss of lives. The rate people die in general hospitals is alarming


I guess Nigeria should be declared the country with the highest mortality rate

SIRTee15:
Burns of these magnitude are not managed in general hospitals....
It's simply beyond them....
I think the problem lies in a poor referral system.....
Sending from one general Hospital to another shows lack of an efficient referral structure in Nigeria....

BigBrother9ja:

Shut up!
Why should a sane medical practitioner reject a dying patient in the first place?

Tolumiide:
does doctors have the right to reject patience in critical conditions?
Environment and health care services are part of the determinants of health.
She would have survived it if accepted or referred.
RIP.
Sad news its only the life of the elites that matters and they get treated abroad.
Nigerian life matters. I think the Lagos state Government should take this case up, investigate it and do something about it. the doctors need to know that life matters, the confidence of lagosian need to be restored. we have beautiful city, we need good health care services. this is sad and better imagined.

lexy2014:
if ur assertion is anything 2 go by, then it a pity that general hospitals can't handle burns. General hospitals are no clinics. they ought 2b able 2 handle such cases but d reality is different from d ideal

SIRTee15:

That's not true....
Even in UK, not all nhs hospitals handles burns cases not to talk of serious one as this one....
What u are looking at is 3Rd degree burns.....
Success rate in best of centres remain a challenge....
What she needs is a specialist burns centre....
She should not even be in an open ward for Christ sake....

Harwehroh1:

So, a medical practitioner dat takes a condition dat he does nt av d EXPERTISE to manage is d SANE one abi? Making trials wit human lives is d good way, rt?

Ngozichukwu J Nwokoye took to social media to mourn her little sister who was a victim of fire accident, after she passed away yesterday.

Ngozichukwu said her sister was rejected by all the General Hospitals in Lagos and now she is dead.

General hospitals in Nigeria are not meant to be treating burns. How many burns specialist drs and nurses do we even have in Nigeria? Talkmore of specialist hospitals.
They simply are not equiped for it. Its sad there are no functioning primary health centers. The general hospitals have taken the roles of primary health centers and are only equiped for such.
Its high time people hold the right persons responsible. Those public leaders who have looted the country dry, and yet we hail them and they become untouchable based on tribal and political affiliations, and even the common man gives his own support to such thieves. This is the result. Sooner or later, it is the same common man who will pay for it. The thieves will fly their children out in a private jet to get the best health care worldwide.
Anyway, my advice is for everyone to try and stay healthy, dont drink and drive, dont speed while driving, avoid unnecessary risks in your daily life because if anything should happen to you, you're on your own.
