The actress expressed sadness when she went to one of the hospitals and saw the state at which patients are been treated.
“When I went to LUTH I spoke with a nurse whose identity I would not disclose, she told me that they use their money to buy stuff they need to work with and also the patience on top of that there is hardly electricity especially at night, their allowances have been cut, but on closer and thorough investigation, they have not had the necessary promotions, that is why there is strike, if there is any part of us as human, please call them back so that they can resume work”. She said
The Government was not left out on the issue as she also said, “It is really a sad thing when we do not value human life in our nation, Nigeria. The total lack of basic and qualitative health care in this country is appalling. That some can afford to travel outside the country for their medical needs no matter how minute (myself included) does not mean we forget those who cannot.”
She however appealed to those concerned to put necessary thing to place so as to allow nurses ensure safety of life
“I am using this platform to call on the management of LUTH to kindly end this strike so that patients can get the necessary treatment. The work conditions there are a huge challenge but the doctors and nurses try to do their best in these circumstances.. A part of the Hippocratic Oath says to “treat the ill to the best of one’s ability”.. As many as can lend a voice please do… A lot of lives are at stake.
