They can't just be wasting lives for no reason. So sad that this good man was made to suffer humiliation and frustration even at such a time his health called for extra attention. Our health system/management have so much degenerated up to a point that the doctors' services are not even fit for dogs. Dr Mailafiya's death is so heart breaking and diminishes us all. Is the Fed. government aware? And nil condolence message to the family? Timing is key.Soon we will read some rejoinder or clarification regarding this loss.Dr Mailafiya was a patriot, may God rest his soul.
