@Dr_Afo This is a sytemic problem... You should see beyond a case and understand that Quality of care affects patient experience. While this is not an exceptional one, the system needs feedback to improve. You might not be a CMD today, but if you go on with this attitude, nothing changes
When we say doctors don't have business acumen, it is not a lie.
Look at reality.
Nigerian doctors are leaving Nigeria in droves for countries like the UK and the U.S. in search of work.
Yet, while this is happening, something else is quietly happening too.
Indian specialist centres are being established in strategic cities like Lagos, Abuja, and other parts of Nigeria.
You go there and you see Indian doctors. In some places, you even find a few European-owned specialist hospitals.
While the natives are leaving the country to look for work, others are coming into the same country to build small-scale healthcare businesses.
That should make you pause.
Some people will immediately say, "Well, it's because these people have money."
Not true.
When you look closely, you realise that many of these specialist hospitals and centres are not personally financed by the doctors themselves. They are backed by investment firms and funding companies that exist specifically to finance profitable ideas and businesses.
Then you begin to realise something very funny.
While many doctors are looking outside the country for employment, they are often blind to the fact that they could build profitable private institutions here in Nigeria.
Health is a marketable skill everywhere.
Health is wealth.
More importantly, health is a commodity that can be sold for as long as human beings exist.
People also argue that doctors are poor and therefore cannot afford to start businesses.
Again, that is not entirely true.
The problem is not always funding.
Today's business world is very different.
For many businesses today, capital is no longer something you save up over twenty years before you begin. It is something you secure.
It is something you raise from investors.
I have hardly seen doctors who are good at speaking the language of finance well enough to secure funding for a healthcare business.
I have hardly seen doctors confidently approach investors to pitch a specialist clinic centred around a common disease or procedure that guarantees recurring demand and sustainable profit.
You rarely see that.
Even doctors who come from wealthy families, who already have access to capital and opportunities, often have just one dream:
To leave Nigeria.
Many have been conditioned to believe that the only way to make money is to be employed and receive a salary.
That is the only financial model they know.
And that is a problem.
Because a person who does not understand business, who cannot secure capital, who cannot generate profit, and who cannot build an enterprise, will always end up being paid by someone who does.
Such a person can rarely accumulate real wealth.
That is the issue.
Nobody is saying this applies to every single doctor.
It doesn't.
But look around.
Dating apps secure hundreds of millions of dollars in funding.
Tech startups raise foreign investments.
Food delivery companies secure millions of dollars from investors, many of them founded by Nigerians.
Meanwhile, over 16,000 doctors have left Nigeria, and thousands more believe that the only greener pasture available to them exists outside the country's borders.
As long as this remains the reality, I will continue to say that many doctors lack business acumen.
And it is something we urgently need to develop.
This is why I'll struggle as a politician and public appointee cuz if Dem invite me to this kind thing I go tell governor say something dey worry am. Ibom specialist dey lie fallow, you now want to build medical city, are you okay at all?
@GenZ_Surgeon@Docfrosh The skills you need to practice empathy is actually lacking. An obvious foolery is creating a thread that doesn't address the main issue which those who seek care complain about. Have you ever sought care in these TH. Otherwise you would know what it means to be in their shoe.
@GenZ_Surgeon@Docfrosh Pushing a narrative that delay in seeking care is the major contributor/driver of the mortality recorded at the TC. Or do u ve difficulty comprehending what you wrote. Or you type without thinking it through. Try and go back to your initial thread.
BREAKING: Bandits are currently in Dan-kado village in Musawa LGA of Katsina State. Security assistance is needed in the town and surrounding communities.
Retweet massively to pass the message, may be we can save lives.
@GenZ_Surgeon@Docfrosh Pls go out and touch grass. I hope your loved ones or u don't require an advanced level of care, then you would know that the TH are actually the last resort.

@Docfrosh ..Patient centered care, hospital environ, decent places for relatives to stay. Strikes affecting patient care. If as drs or HCW you keep saying all is well, the govt wouldn't invest in public hosp, the narration is simply assuming public hosp are the best. Which is very untrue
@Docfrosh This generalized statement of delay in seeking care as the major contributory factor to poor health outcomes in Nigeria teaching hospitals is misleading. The Quality of Care is not determined solely by the no of Prof or consultant in a center; Nursing care, timeliness of inv.
I just saw the news that Kunle Edun SAN & Aikpokpo-Martins has instituted Fundamental Rights Suit to stop posting of Corps Members to high-security-risk states.
Interesting times ahead!
Dr. Olubosede, HOD Pediatrics, State Hospital Akure. The residents reported me unnecessarily and she batted them away.
One day I was so tired after a neonate kept me up all night and was dozing off during morning review. I was supposed to work that morning till 4pm but she sent me home to rest and asked another doctor to cover for me.
The day I really respected her was when we failed to get IV access for one child. I tried, resident tried, consultant tried. Shishi. We sent Ambulance to her house to pick her at 2am and she came, used her left hand and got IV access on the same hand we didnโt see anything. She also got another to collect blood. Love her so much.
If your doctor diagnoses Typhoid on day 3 of a fever using a single Widal test without even ordering a blood culture, you are dealing with quackery. Convince me otherwise.
We are losing this woman because of N2,200,000. Doctors asked that it must be Paid before they touch her. I cannot watch my Momโs age suffer & not try. I have donated N100,000. Pls do anything you can so the Process can commence! Account number is below. God bless you ๐

BREAKING: Frustrated Nigerian Senators Make a U-Turn, Insist on Mandatory Electronic Transmission of Results After APC Denies Them Tickets.
It is no longer a secret that many Nigerian senators are now strongly advocating for the mandatory electronic transmission of election results directly from polling units to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) server. Interestingly, these are largely the same lawmakers who, only months ago, supported the position that electronic transmission of results should remain optional rather than compulsory.
WALKING THE TALK!!!
Beyond tweeting & ranting from the comfort of my room in Europe, I joined other comrades in Ibadan today on a peaceful protest to demand for the immediate release of our kids, wives, fathers & mothers abducted in Oriire.
The remaining #45 must be rescued with the speed it deserves.
@officialABAT & @seyimakinde must leave no stone unturned in getting them out of the dungeon.
#RescueOriire
When bandits were terrorising us in Kwara, we saw how our Governor was running up and down and we still called him out. He never even for once blamed the President or played politics with it. Even the Eruku worshipers that were later freed, it took the combined efforts of both the state and federal government to get them out.
Oyo State Governor should learn from Governor of Kwara; stop being irresponsible and do the needful. He can play politics later when his people are out of kidnappersโ den.

Iโve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
