Good afternoon everyone.

I'm sharing my personal experience with our failed healthcare system especially on its inability to respond promptly to this COVID-19 epidemic.

#TheAverageNigerian #FailedHealthCare #FailedHealthCareSystem

A week ago, I came down with some symptoms similar to that of COVID-19. I tried the @NCDCgov hotlines several times for about 2 days before I got a response stating that since I have not started showing ALL signs & symptoms plus I have no recent international travel history—

/2

—or contact with a confirmed COVID-19 patient I wouldn't be attended to.

I took to Twitter later that day expressing my displeasure for the response I got and most people including the @NCDCgov dismissed it as a skit or probably an attention seeking video.

/3

My symptoms continued to persist and I reached out to the @LSMOH through the hotlines all to no avail before contacting them on Twitter via @08000CORONA where I got a call the following morning.

/4

I was told to get a cough syrup and mix lemon in hot water and take these liquids every morning and evening. 

I carried out these practices for 2 days with a little relief or so I thought, up until yesterday where I had serious difficulty breathing.

/5

I was rushed to a private hospital where I was rejected because of my symptoms, and was referred to the Mainland Hospital (Formerly Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, Lagos).

/6

Upon my arrival at the Mainland Hospital, the doctors on ground reluctantly attended to the case after questioning me.

/7

Some of the doctors dismissed it almost immediately stating that the signs and symptoms plus possible confirmed contact did not fit the profile of a COVID 19 case.

/8

A sample was eventually collected for testing after we insisted on NOT leaving without a test being carried out. While the test was ongoing 2 persons were immediately admitted into the Isolation Ward based on the fact that they had possible contact with a confirmed case.

/9

We were later referred again from the Mainland Hospital to Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for medical examination. 

On getting to LUTH we were halted at the entrance of the Accident & Emergency Ward and told to wait outside.

/10

We were questioned from a distance on the symptoms I was experiencing. 

After questioning, the doctor said this was a possible case of COVID 19 and referred us back to Mainland Hospital Yaba stating that they do not have adequate gear and facilities to handle such a case.

He would be live on his Instagram by 9am tomorrow to share his experience

Threat:Trump vows to starve WHO of cash for being snug to China over COVID-19

By
Trump today has announced the plans to halt on World Health Organization funding after hitting out at the body’s ‘China-centric’ approach to tackling coronavirus. During his speech at the White House Tuesday, the President of the United States said that the United State paid the highest money to the WHO. According to him, he said that the WHO- received around $58million from the US early this year – could have ‘called it months earlier’, amid claims it failed to establish China’s alleged lies over the number of COVID-19 deaths and diagnoses From his speech, he said we pay for the biggest amount of their money. They’ve been wrong about the things they do. They had a lot of information early and they didn’t want to reveal it, they seem to be very China-centric......…that’s a nice way of saying it. They seem to err on the side of China. ‘We’re going to look into that… they called it wrong. They missed the call. They could have called it months earlier. They could have known
