Nigerian businessman Cubana Chief Priest has spoken on challenges in the country’s healthcare system after visiting hospitals in Lagos.
In a post on Monday, he shared his frustrating experience at a hospital in Ikoyi, where he reportedly waited for more than an hour without being attended to by a doctor.
Naijaonpoint reports that the nightlife businessman said that due to the delay, he had to buy medication for typhoid and malaria and planned to postpone proper medical care until he travels abroad.
Chief Priest also visited another hospital in Lekki, where he encountered long online forms before being able to see a doctor.
The businessman described the situation as disappointing and expressed concern over the quality and accessibility of healthcare in Nigeria.
He wrote on his Instagram story: “Honestly health care is a joke in this country. Walked into a hospital I have been using in this Ikoyi for years. After vitals it’s over an hour plus & no doctor is available. I no wan post the hospital because I understand what business is all about. I went to another one in Lekki and I have to fill a long form online to see a doctor. Well I don go med plus go buy medication for typhoid and malaria if I reach UK make I do proper health care there it’s a shame sha, na God dey save person for this country.”
