Doctors in Delta State Public/General Hospitals now charge between 20k and 50k for operations like removal of Appendix, Cesarean Section operation and hernia operation, after they must have made their patients pay all the government approved fees and buy drugs themselves, that is if the Doctor didn't divert you to his private clinic in town, where he can now critically drain the Patient.
The Administrative Head of these public Hospitals are well informed, aware and sometime partake in the proceeds, arguing that they use these monies to run generators and buy stationaries and other miscellaneous activities, whereas, no time you visit these Hospitals at night without meeting the whole place in darkness. Patients are made to pay for as small as syringe đź’‰.
This devilish habit of almost all the Doctors in Delta State General Hospitals must stop. The Doctors' Salary is higher than his counterparts in the Ministry of Justice bcos of hazard allowances, so why this Satanic urge for wealth?
All relevant agencies, Human Rights Organizations and well meaning Deltans must join this Campaign to put an end to this practice that is sending innocent but low income earners to early graves.
If this horrible practice does not stop, we shall be left with no option than to set machinery in motion towards gathering evidence against a particular Doctor/Hospital to be used as a scapegoat and as a deterrence to others. If we are pushed to that point we shall not stop or return!!!
