The government is completely to blame for this tragic situation & no electricity absolutely disgraceful. The citizens suffer greatly 😢

[@ugochukwudavid4224]

To achieve any reasonable improvement in our health sector, we need to, first, make health services accessible/available. This would involve equal distribution of these facilities/services. It would not happen without proper financing and plan. We need these services to be affordable, and this can only be possible if everyone contributes or is contributed for to a pool that can be used to manage the system. Policies must be made to curb movement of political persons in seeking Healthcare outside their country of residence. The political will however, is sincerely lacking.
