A Nigerian man named Prince revealed on Twitter today that his younger sister, Debbie, died this morning outside the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) emergency center due to a lack of available beds. According to Prince, Debbie waited for over two hours before succumbing to her condition.
The incident has highlighted the ongoing healthcare crisis in Nigeria, with many attributing the shortcomings to corrupt politicians.
Prince’s heart-wrenching tweet reads, “Right in front of LUTH emergency center, my kid sister died this morning after waiting for over 2 hours because there were no enough beds. I don’t blame anyone but greedy politicians. Debbie will be buried on Tuesday in Benue.”
The tweet has since gone viral, sparking widespread outrage and calls for healthcare reform in the country.
Nigeria has long grappled with inadequate healthcare facilities and funding. The World Health Organization (WHO) has previously noted that the nation’s healthcare system is in dire need of improvement, with significant gaps in access to essential health services, particularly for those living in rural areas.
Many Nigerians have expressed their frustration and anger over the situation, with some joining Prince in laying the blame on corrupt politicians who they believe have diverted funds meant for healthcare development.
The public outcry has prompted renewed calls for increased transparency and accountability in the allocation of government resources for health services.
The Lagos University Teaching Hospital has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident. Debbie’s funeral is set to take place on Tuesday in Benue.
