The Minister of Health Professor Isaac Adewole says the problem with the nation’s tertiary health institutions is overcrowding and lack of proper funding.
He also stressed that teaching hospitals are overburdened because of lack of proper funding and attention to primary healthcare.According to the Minister, only 10% of Nigerians need to go to teaching hospitals, but that is not the case as Nigerians have no confidence in primary and secondary healthcare systems, thereby opting to go straight to tertiary hospitals which are only supposed to take care of complicated cases.
“For us in Nigeria, they represent the topmost and by design are expected to manage complex and complicated cases. “The problem we have is that the foundation is bad and the wall is weak and we are only concerned about the roof. If we invest in the Primary Health Care, a lot of people would not have a cause to go to the Tertiary,” he explained.
“Do we still have sanitary inspectors, if so are they allowed to carry out their duties and are the CMD’s allowed to act independently?” — Senator Francis Alimikhena. “UCH used to be one of the best hospitals but now it’s a caricature of what it used to be. Is there a programme where we bring our teaching hospitals to the standard it used to be so they stand out?” –Senator Olusola Adeyeye.
Is the Minister just getting to know this or that he spent the whole 4 years conducting the research..................cheap weeds things. What did he do about it? Too late to be asking if he planned to do anything about it!
