- A registered nurse, Prince Ovwiomodiowho, has accused a private hospital in Lagos State, R Jolad Hospital, Agege, of alleged negligence and failure to provide adequate care, which reportedly led to the death of his wife, Loveth, and unborn son, already named Jason.
The distraught man told the ladies Healthwise, that his late wife started ante-natal at the hospital in 2023 but reportedly bled to death on March 8, 2024, shortly after undergoing a cesarean section.
Ovwiomodiowho insisted that the lack of a competent surgical team and equipment were factors that contributed to the untimely death of his wife and baby.

Am glad you spoke up oga mi. He is an anesthetic nurse in the general Hospital where i work. I know him very well, he is good at is work, no vein he cant locate. Its so painful after taking care of patients your wife was killed as a result of negligence. Justice for Nurse Prince
General hospitals medical practitioners are as guilty as private ones if not worse. I was a victim at general hospital during pregnancy twice. Thank God I am alive to tell the story. So sorry about this man's loss especially because he lost the wife too. But I wonder why he didn't allow the wife have the baby at the general hospital where he works
@@AderemiAdebowale-kl4ze he might probably be scared of negligence in general hospital which the same occur in private where he took his wife to
Call the hospital's name to save others out there please.
My heartfelt condolences sir, it so sad to see your loved ones gone just like that.
May their soul rest in peace and may God give you and the entire family the fortitude to bear this loss.
R. joland hospital Agege. It’s in the caption.
Nobody should blame Mr Prince. He is torn between emotions and professionalism and couldn't do better except someone who is mentally and emotionally balanced is present to help him reason rightly. And that should be the work of the doctors and nurses. May the Lord help and comfort your family in time like this.
My God! As a mother and a L&D nurse in the US, my whole body is shaking uncontrollably, hearing this man describe what his family went through due to gross negligence. The magnitude of his loss & the frustration of him being a very knowledgeable & skilled healthcare provider & be there to witness such incompetence of other healthcare providers with his loved ones is so aching to hear. If that’s happening to someone with knowledge who advocated for his wife & son & could afford what was supposed to be good care with a private hospital, I can’t even begin to fathom what might be the experience of someone without medical knowledge or money.
May God comfort & strengthen him 🙏🏾
Calm down before your body starts shaking uncontrollably. Hear from the other party. You're a health care professional, I expect you to know that sometimes, things are not exactly as people put it. It's my personal policy to hear from both parties before calling people names. I'm sure people would have written complaints against you too and you wish you were given an opportunity to clear the air. Cheers
The story I read has a different twist to it including declining intervention, blood transfusion...
What kind of hospital is this? Oh my goodness. One thing I learnt from my late mum who was a midwife trained abroad and better than some doctors in Nigeria when it comes to delivery is to always go to a recognised hospital with all the right personnel needed for emergencies. The consultant and anaesthetist should have been there all along. I am so sad. Please take heart. You sound more intelligent and experienced than the staff in that hospital. May their souls RIP
How would you know such hospitals in Nigeria?if they they tell you that all their personnel are complete when they are not is there a way to be sure?
We should not be quick to judge without hearing from the hospital first. It is unfortunate that he lost his wife and child but there were some inconsistencies in his story or should I say things he deliberately left out to exonerate himself. One of such was the issue of cesarean section that was offered, he said he was not offered CS but he mentioned having a court order against that. This means he declined CS and that changed everything. There is another part of the story that is left unsaid. This is not to exonerate the hospital but I know how difficult jehova witnesses can be. I have had to watch children die because their parents refused blood transfusion. Much of the report is just show of knowledge and nothing more, even in the best hospitals in the world things are not done as he mentioned, thats just theoritical knowledge. I just hope the doctors documented everything that happened. This one sided story is unreliable.
@@wisdomelliot5721 is he Jehovah witness?Plus why is the hospital refusing to grant interviews?
@teeooh691 Yes, he is a jehova witness. Hospitals don't like granting interviews on issues like this because interviews will most likely break the confidentiality of the patients. In addition the man is in grief, it's not proper to respond but I believe they will release an official report soon.
An emergency CS would have saved the woman an baby. It is so painful that this man who saves lives could not save his wife. To even think that it is even ethically wrong to perform procedures on your relatives as a healthcare professional. This is so sad!
Chaii this is so bad & painful
This is really bad and it's becoming alarming. I lost my wife and baby due to similar scenarios (negligence) on 27th May, 2023. I tried my best to ensure justice prevail but all efforts went to waste. I realeasd a book last month "A THOUSAND YEARS IN A YEAR" narrating what happened for societal awareness.
Sorry about that sir. May God comfort you.
Accept my condolences 🙏
All this private hospitals should be closed. They are causing lot of harm
What was the Total Dosage of the misoprostol inserted rectally? How many iu of oxytocin was infused into the intravenous fluid. This is a complete history of Uterine rupture
What went wrong was Total Incompetence of the quacks that packed themselves as professionals
I'm so so sorry for your loss, nobody deserves such a horrible experience. I pray you get justice. What is the name of the hospital?
Hmm! It'll shock you to hear that it's 'R-JOLAD' in Lagos. He's a relative of my colleague.
Govt needs to regulate this private hospitals. It will shock you that those consultants practically knows nothing. They only press laptops and search for solutions on google. It scares me how they killed two souls due to negligence. I feel for the man.
lol...this is loud
Complete case of Hyper induction which resulted to Uterine rupture. What was her phase of labour before the first
Misoprostol was inserted? For someone who was not fully dilated just 6cm, how can the fetus escape the uterus to the vagina. Complete Negligence and incompetence,Do us a favour to mention the name of the hospital. So sad.
It's in the caption
I am so sorry for his loss. But we should not forget that sometimes complications do occur with medications and procedures.
Am a medical doctor and i have had complications with same medications twice during my CS.
May God deliver us all. I sympathise with the husband and empathize with the medical staff.
He talks about infusion pump, how many hospitals in Nigeria have infusion pumps.
A ni sise in Jesus name.
There is shortage of doctors, the doctor may not be able to divide himself.
If he knew about the hospital status why did they register there and not his place of work. Am sorry but this question need to be asked
A note of advice for people that prefer a Private hospital for antenatal care if there is no in house consultant obsteric and gynaecologists, paediatrician or anaesthetist that can be called please dont register.
Go to a govt hospital, its cheaper and better.
God bless you for this. Someone said he works in a general hospital yet he took his wife to a private hospital. I pray God will heal him and comfort him
God bless you mama. U hv spoke the truth. Most private hospitals do more harm than good. So sad i went thru hell in their hand, twas govt hospital that saved my life
They should close the hospital down and jail the incompetent Doctor. Seriously, does the life of people mean nothing. May the little angel and his mother rest in peace. Utter negligence.
Chill first. Nigerians always conclude after hearing one side of the story, that's not how it works in the court of law. Hear from the other party too before concluding. I understand that emotions are high in casee like this. The account i read is different from what he said.
You won't be chilling if this happens to your family member. They paid good money and expected a high quality service, which they did not get. Unfortunately, two people died. The hospital and professionals involved must be held accountable for this incident.
@@abysamm my point is that you should hear from the other party. The story I read is different from what they've put out here. If the doctor was your sister or brother or spouse, you won't ask for them to be jailed without hearing anything from them. Did this man mention here that they are Jehovah's witnesses and they refused blood transfusion? If you listened carefully, he said they offered him the option of CS but he didn't make up his mind about it. No one is happy when things like this happen, but at the same time, we need to be careful not jump into hasty conclusions before hearing from both parties. Cheers
@@abysamm we all want justice to be served and no one is happy when things like this happen. At the same time, we don't want to jail people who may actually not have done anything wrong if only we had given them a fair chance to give an account of what happened too. The world is moving away from jungle justice, we should all embrace fair trial.
I can only respond to what l saw on TVC. Apparently, this is not the first case of a pregnant woman dying at this hospital. From what the husband of the deceased said, even basic checks were not done. Seriously, they need to have a functioning transparent health regulator that oversees the practices of all hospitals in Nigeria. Any hospital that is not fit for purpose needs to be closed down.
How i wish i could call in this minute. Had it been the husband is not in health line. Those wicked forsaken doctors and nurses will just put up one bad terrible death report for him and that will be all..
You just said it all
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that God will console and strengthen you in this period of your grief.
May their 😮souls rest in peace. Hospital negligence has sent alot of people to early grave. One Hospital on Lagos Island almost turn my son to a vegetable,Thank God for his Grace upon my life. My son had continuous seizure for over 8hrs 😢😢😢 and doctor was not available to attend to him. He later went into coma and we rushed him to st.Nicholas hospital. I was about 7months pregnant then.. i went through hell. The dr.lied in the referal later given to us, not knowing that i have snapped the details on the case note.
Can you imagine? I thank God for you .
@ogochukwulucia3743 Thank you, Sis. I forgot to mention the part of sedation. Since Dr. is not on duty. They were administrating injection to make him sleep throughout the night.
So devastating...sad
So sad most private hospitals do more harm than good 😢😢😢. I had a terrible experience with private hospital, twas a govt hospital that saved me😢😢
So sorry for your loss. This is painful.
Our public hospitals are better in this instance.
Hmmmm
Yes oh, for delivery and maternal health, Lagos state General hospitals will NEVER be this negligent and under equipped. I had my baby in one of them just 6 months ago via CS and I can tell u for free that they're very well equipped
Please accept my condolences. May you get the justice you deserve.
Very heart breaking story 😢
Ha!!! Prince!! I'm so sorry for your loss. It is well.
My husband died at 45 years due to the negligence of Havana Hospital in 2017. The grieve was so overwhelming that l couldn’t sue the hospital. I requested for the medical report few weeks after, the hospital staff pushed me around from the nurse to the Dr to the head of admin- l never received the medical report……..
I really feel sad for this man may God heal your heart
This is sad. I find it difficult to wrap my head around the absence of medical personnel in a hospital setting, especially because emergencies can happen at any time.
This is too much😢😢😢😢May God comfort this man
Pls stop blaming him oooo Nigerians. He was a patient relative in this case and you don’t want to know what it is like to be there plus The Hospital is quite a reputable one . And it was his wife’s choice to be there. Pls Sympathise, empathise if possible and help him get justice. My heart goes out to you colleague.😢😢 God will comfort you ❤
This is gross negligence,I’m so sorry for your loss,Nigeriaaa!
sue them ,their license should be revoked .
U see this story right here is very pathetic. I can relate so well. In my case my husband refused any form of induction. He opted for surgery esp wen the labour was not progressing and foetal heartbeat was low. In dis country no room for gentle man . My husband was screaming so loud wen the surgeon was no where to be found. It was his shouting that put d staff hospital under pressure. Women go thru alot .So sorry Sir for ur loss. Again we pray may Nigeria never happen to anyone.
I’m just speechless 😭😭😭
Lord have mercy😭
They should Close the hospital and investigate .. untrained staffs that are not experienced should not be working in setting like this.. very sad...praying for you....
I told the consultant who saw him last not to discharge him yet from the hospital until they get to the root of the recurrent symptoms- l insisted we needed to see a consultant, the consultant discharged him because the symptoms subsided. He was okay until one day, he went to work all the way to VI, returned home and suddenly died at home few hours after. … l arrived home to see him lifeless .Autopsy in LUTH showed he died from the complications of what the Drs in Havana had been treating. Havana then lied that he was declining admission but he was being advised and treated was being treated like it was not life threatening.
I know nurse prince he his good at his work may God fight for you
Am so sad and am weeping for innocent Nigerians who cannot get adequate care because of the negligence , neglect, educated and professionals who know what they are doing , this is so painful. Why and unfortunately Nigerians are the highest when it comes to such pride for nothing. What a disgust😢. Am ashamed of that Country no doubt about that .
Medical Negligences happen everywhere in the world . US probably having the largest share, check that up. I had been a victim of medical negligence myself at least twice during pregnancy. It's unfortunate and we should keep speaking against it and encourage medical practitioners to be more careful and humane. But it's not enough reason to say you are ashamed of Nigeria for that. There are many brilliant Nigerian doctors or medical practitioners doing well home and abroad. I am so sorry for this man's loss especially losing the wife alongside with baby. It's a huge loss
By the way I am not a doctor but just want to keep hope alive for dear country Nigeria rather than despair and be bitter/ hopeless
@@AderemiAdebowale-kl4ze people haven't even heard from the other party and they're already cursing Nigeria. Stories like this comes with a lot of emotions, but people should always sheath their swords until they've heart from the other party.
What baffled me is seeing this man knows so much why didn't his wife have the antenatal and delivery at the general hospital where he works
Why go to a private hospital only to be teaching them or correcting them on what they are doing right or wrong because he's in that field. I feel his pain especially knowing that he's in the field and yet could not save his child worse still his wife
May the Lord comfort him and strengthen his heart and grant him fortitude to bear this loss.
@@AderemiAdebowale-kl4ze the story I read has a different twist to it. They are Jehovah's witnesses and they refused blood transfusion too. My point is that Nigerians should stop this habit of jungle justice. They hear one side of the story and start throwing stones and setting things on fire.
I pray the truth comes out and if the hospital is guilty, they should be sanctioned. May God comfort the family.
@@femiadeoye9867 Nigerians react with emotions a lot without checking facts. Always assuming the person that stated his own case first is the victim
PLEASE WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE HOSPITAL FOR OTHERS TO LEARN.
Japa is one of the reasons why we don't have enough hands on ground. Even the few ones on ground are just concentrating in making money and going out of the country. God rescue Nigeria health system.
Be deceiving yourself and blaming japa. Nigerian healthcare system has generally been a very negligent one since 19 gboro.
do you think most private hospitals can afford experienced professionals? even when they have not japa-ed? the ones you said are focused on making money, do you think they'd do it at the expense of their license? even government Hospitals have always been short staffed since wayback before japa, staff are overworked without equipments. Do you know that many medical personnel are still grossly underemployed in Nigeria? you will hear a registered nurse earning 40k in this present economy
God forbid! I saw hell during childbirth. I am a testimony of God's deliverance. God wanted me to live. A lot of carelessness in our health sector.
So sorry for your loss. I will keep say this...I still prefer the general hospital ( Govt hospital) to private. I almost lost my daughter at a private hospital, first at her birth , second when she was sick. Ever since I had that experience I said no to private hospital.
May Nigeria not happen to us
Amen 🙏
Amen.
Amen o
What type of useless hospital did you people enter with pregnancy. You are too knowledgeable to have allowed this to happen...when you suspected there was incompetency you would have moved your wife.
He would have just moved her away. Soo sorry for his loss😢.
I heard him say something about his first child. Wondering where he had the first child
The hospital no get name? Which one is Lagos hospital?
If it's a Gov't the name would have been mentioned
Abi ooo, so other people will not fall victim
From all I've read here, the name is R Jolad hospital
It's so sad
I still maintain until hospitals both private n gov r made to give account of how every life is lost in their hands,check to see what was administered by an external vetting body of experts, dey wont sit up.even general hospital can mess u up ,i almost feel dey r paid to depopulate the country,d way pple die n dey move on not fully doing the due diligence is terrible in this country,dey just move on,tothe next.may God help us all,somebody should pay,licence siezed,some hosp sud be closed down,lets stop all dis sentiment,dis profession is abt life
Thank God this man went to school. He even know about. Medical term. What if he did not no any thing.
That is the problem in Nigeria o.
Many laypeople don't know what the clinicians are doing and they don't explain things to you
Eyah am very sorry for the loss what a great loss I know dis couple very well dey normally come to my shop to dere food stuff am sorry may God almighty take care of ur daughter ROunie n stay with you too pls government should take up with dis case pls he need justice pls
Is it that they don't have an anesthetist?
R. Jolad is a big hospital now!
Sorry for this loss
Big for nothing
😢
😢
God please heal this man.This is pathetic
I experience d the same. And my baby died after 3 days
Safety is not a priority in Nigeria, 💰 is. The hospital are never prepared for emergency situations.. government doesn't care about ppl well-being.. very sad.. pray this doesn't happen to another family...
😢😢😢
What is the government doing. That hospital and the medical team must go to jail
Government does nothing because it doesn’t concern them. Their family are treated abroad and they don’t care about the rest of us.
You saw lots of red flags...oh my gosh😮. U should have taken her away to another hospital...oh noooo. Im so sorry.
In some cases, you do not think
@@meldawilliams1636you're right.... He probably wouldn't have ever thought it'll end the way it did
The truth is hardly anyone would take a patient already actively in labour to a different hospital. It's easier to know what you should have done ONLY in hind sight because you already know the outcome now. You'd think you stand a better chance with the hospital that has your medical history than beginning to shop for a hospital at the first sign of danger. He would be blaming himself more if this happened due to a hasty decision he took without thoughts.
😢😢😢😢😢
Sorry for your loss .. may God comfort you sir. But it's Augmentation of labour not induce....Water breaking means labour has started...technical details of wat was done is Augment..
Why can't they mention the name of the hospital? To save ppls life. This is sad o, ah! Jesus Christ! My heart is bleeding,I can't hold my tears. May d merciful God comfort d husband, and may d souls of mother and child rest with their maker ijmn. So sad❤
It’s R.Jolad.don’t mind them. They know the name and will keep their family away from it, but don’t want to mention the name because they are scared obviously they can’t help the man in this fight because they are already afraid of lawsuit.
I lost my cousin because of the same negligence.
Such a sad story,but am sorry to say this, the husband actually recognised all the red flags in this hospital, I would have expected him to take his wife to a standard hospital where appropriate obstetrics care can be given. He has all the knowledge to prevent him from being victim of this hospital. May God grant him grace to cope with the loss.
It's easier said than done. You are speaking on the benefit of hindsight. There is no way to predict the future. No one would willingly take the risk on their loved ones if they could foretell the danger they would face.
Moreover, for someone in such a critical state, you can't just take her like that in a vehicle to another hospital. It would require putting her a well-equipped ambulance and trainned ambulance medical personnel to take her to another hospital, which from the look of things was likely also not available at the hospital.
The wife did not want General Hospital experience and opted for private hospital. The Consultant was an OB/GYN who reassured them of proper care during labor and delivery.
The problem here is the Consultant and his team did not deliver on what he promised. A woman in labor must be consistently monitored till she delivers her baby safely and for up to 24 hours post delivery.
The husband witnessed the unfolding experience along with his wife and could not move her out of that hospital in such.a state of labor .
She probably ruptured her uterus which resulted into internal bleeding.
Do not judge him please, in some cases, you di nit think properly
@@godwinellaSO true. People can just talk, is it easy to think when you have problems
Jesus Holy Spirit Please Comfort him😢
But why naa Nr Prince.You saw d sign u should have taken her to where you work naa
private hospital in Lagos State, R Jolad Hospital, Agege
They are only after money wish is bad if you can treat the patients then stabilize the patient and refer to another hospital
It is happening slowly abroad the difference the hospital can be sued and staff members can loose their license for a long time or forever
Oh my friend Prince😭😭😭…this is so sad
We both attended same Nursing School
This is 😭
Nigerian medicine. O di egwu o
No matter what you know, when your loved one is hospitalized you are nothing but a patient's relative.
I've been there you can't really do much, you are simply at their mercy. And when you call their attention to something that is abnormal they dismiss your concerns and when you insist, they say you are trying to show. This is really sad.
This death could have been avoided, I'm pained.
👍💯
First if all,the deceased's husband allowed the tragedy to happen,even if your requested for management of the hospital,as a senior healthcare practitioner,use your decision making skill to transfer your wife to another hospital if they can't do the right thing to the point of assisting here and there,yes you can do this is not an emergency you didn't see coming.
As for the hospital,why open a hospital without qualified nurses and doctors,why the induction with a mother carrying a macrosonic fetus, not to even talk about phases of induction, how can a consultant of which field i don't know be adamant about a history of a pregnant woman with a big baby.
This is totally unprofessional practice, gross misconduct and negligence that warrant every body involved to be severely punished.
How can you blame him?there was nothing wrong his decision to remain there because this hospital has the pregnancy history. It is the hospital’s fault.
If you are a healthcare personnel you would definitely decode my write up.I meant what I wrote.
This is so sad and annoying but Oga, you're a nurse, why didn't you take her out of that place and rush her to another better hospital! Why wait for 2 hours for a Doctor who is busy else where! WHY?
For someone in such a critical state, it would require a well-equipped ambulance and trained ambulance personnel to take her, which from the look of things was likely also not available at the hospital.
You can't just take her like that in a vehicle to another hospital.
Not all patient’s are stable enough to be transferred.
The problem with people is they always like to blame the victims of their predicament even when it's not their fault. How do you expect him to take his wife who is already in labour to another hospital as if it's malaria and typhoid sickness?
Seriously, so it his fault that he did not move his beloved wife, what if the lady was unstable to move her. Have some empathy, he did his best and guided them well
@ivieodigie Some of them know nothing, and all they think and do is negativity. How can someone listen patiently to him and blame him.
Jesus Holy Spirit Please Comfort him😢
