How can you compare Nigerian health system and that of the United States of America?
They are not comparable because. I will never agree to be hospitalised here because of the absence of good healthcare system, everything here is backward.

What do you think is responsible for the situation?
It is corruption, some doctors and pharmacists are corrupt and hospitals are not managed by the right persons. Nigerian hospitals are not functional, there is no follow-up treatment to ensure patients , eat the right food, take the right medication, and ensure you do not fall sick again.
But we have the National Health Insurance Scheme NHIS here.
They have appointed new head there but the question is whether the system will allow him to function, the system is terrible, corrupt. In the US, if you are corrupt, you will be put in jail. Here nurses perform surgery, surgery is done without light, that’s Nigeria for you.
