I was having a conversation yesterday with my friends about cancer and its impact on life in Nigeria.

And one of them shared a brief story…

He said his father is currently admitted in the hospital for prostate cancer, and his father's brother (his uncle) is also suffering from the same condition.

According to him, the family has spent a lot of money trying to manage it.

Then he said something that sounded funny at first, but also very thought-provoking.

He said based on his family history, there is a high chance he could also develop prostate cancer. He is in his late 30s, married, with 3 kids.

Then he jokingly said that once he clocks 40, he might consider going for surgery to remove his prostate gland as a preventive measure.

That statement made everyone pause for a second.

Then one of the guys asked jokingly, So if that's possible, does it mean women with strong family history of breast cancer should just remove their breasts too?

Everyone laughed, especially the ladies who quickly said No o!

But then someone reminded us of
Angelina Jolie ;
the Hollywood actress who actually tested positive for a high-risk breast cancer gene and chose to remove both breasts as a preventive measure.

It sounded extreme, but it was a medical decision to reduce her risk significantly.

After the laughter faded, the room became quiet again.

Because when you really think about it, it stops being a joke and starts becoming a serious question…

How far would people go if they could actually prevent diseases they are genetically exposed to?

And where exactly do we draw the line between prevention, fear, and acceptance?

Exposing crime is a criminal offence in Nigeria.

The greatest risk in life is not taking any risks at all.

Do people know that teaching hospitals are not places you should just able to walk into.
Teaching hospitals are meant majorly for referred cases and training specialist healthcare workers like nurses and resident doctors.
After specialising in teaching hospital, a huge number of these specialist doctors and nurses are supposed to be working in your general hospitals, federal medical centers and state specialist with tons of medical officers working under them.
Most emergencies and clinical conditions should actually be handled by specialists both medical and surgical at this secondary healthcare level.
But walk into most general hospital in this country apart from lagos and what you'd meet is crickets.
You'd be lucky to find one or two MOs shooting far above their pay grade.
You'd see MOs doing ex-laps, CS, and ortho procedures just because if they don't, thousands will die.
Walk into their emergency room and you'd be lucky to find functional resuscitation items and an oxygen cylinder.
Yet, rather than these people to protest about their useless leaders.
They'd rather point to the overworked doctor and nurses, they'd say we lack empathy, that we deserve our poor pay because of our lackadaisical attitude and that God will punish us if we don't attend to them on time.
Godforsaken country.

@iamdrlee @mohagirei Sad but true

[Dr Mohammad Usman Suleiman @mohagirei]

The one thing I am sure of is this, they all passionately gave their best to patient care while they lived.

As Nigeria and its Health community marches on in the direction of forgetting these heroes, NARD shall continue to remember them and honor them.

Therefore, NARD shall continue to mourn them. We will pray for the repose of their souls in peace.

Death is the one constant that every living thing shall taste. Alas, those who help us heal too aren’t immune.

If anything should worry Nigeria now, it is that no one is focusing on the real solutions to this hydra-headed looming disaster that we are already living in.

Perhaps until it becomes the subject of a strike action by NARD, Nigeria and Nigerians may not take notice.

Rest in peace, Distinguished and Esteemed Colleagues.

Yours Militantly,
P-MUS of NARD

_*WHEN IS TOO MUCH REALLY TOO MUCH*_
_*what we should all be worried about*_

I write this with great constraint, sadness and a profound sense of loss of faith.

In the last one (1) month, three doctors lost their lives. Three members of NARD lost their lives.
1. Dr. Salome Oboyi, A Senior Registrar in the Obs and Gynae department of BHUTH Jos
2. ⁠Dr. Jamila Umar Danhassan, A Registrar in Community Medicine Department of AKTH Kano
3. ⁠Dr. Akinjobi Carrington, A House Officer in LASUTH Lagos.

It would interest us all to know that this brings the number of Resident Doctors who lost their lives in the last four and a half (4 1/2) months to (10) ten.

It would interest you to also know that a Resident Doctor also tested positive (and eventually tested negative for Lassa Fever) in the last 2 weeks.

Will it not baffle your imagination to know that a Resident Doctor is battling for her life in a hospital in Enugu following a road traffic accident?

I am angry, I am scared, I am afraid I may be next, I am awake to my own thoughts these days and a prisoner to it. Nigeria, what have we done wrong as Doctors?

Life is just moving on in Nigeria as if nothing has happened.

Of the 9,000 resident Doctors at the federal level and another 1,000 at the state level, 10 have lost their lives in less than 5 months.

We have lost over 10,000 Resident Doctors over the last 10 years to Migration and we are on course to loose another 10,000 in the next 10 years with a net deficit of about a thousand (1,000) doctors per year.

New recruitment into Residency Training has dropped by more than 40% in the last few years.
Attrition rate out of Residency Training has also increased with over 4,600 doctors leaving the shores of Nigeria in 2024 alone.
I am sure, Nigeria did not produce more than this number of Doctors from our medical schools in 2024.

We now have more Senior Registrars than Registrars, more Senior Registrars than there are House Officers in Nigeria.

Add these (now regularly regular) deaths to the statistic, we are surely heading in the wrong direction.

Ten (10) is a few too many, especially in Nigeria where these 10 Doctors by population are suppose to cover at least 100,000 Nigerians with a doctor to patient ratio approaching 1:10,000. WHO recommends 1:600 to 1,000.

We have approximately 25,000-30,000 Doctors currently actively practicing at various levels and strata of patient care in Nigeria. To cover our entire population, we need over 300,000 Doctors.

What the above statistics mean is this. 30,000 Doctors are doing the Job that should be done by 300,000 Doctors. And off the 30,000, Resident Doctors are less than half of that.

When doctors die, or any health care professional die, it is a source for worry and panic.

Is this not a national crisis?
Doesn’t this deserve our attention?
What is killing our Doctors?

What may be responsible? (not in order of priority);
1. Excess work load.
2. ⁠Lack of Motivation and under appreciation.
3. ⁠Poor Remuneration and excess outstanding monetary arrears.
4. ⁠Challenges in career progression.
5. ⁠Lack of Job satisfaction.
6. ⁠Epidemiological and natural distributions of disease entities.
7. ⁠Security challenges.
8. ⁠Inability to afford services in Nigerian Hospitals.
9. All of the above?
10. ⁠etc

10 care givers gone.
10 healers gone when they were needed the most.

Why am I worried;
1. I can be next and the whole country would just move on and I become a statistic.
2. ⁠These hospitals would simply replace them with anyone alive, available and willing. And work will just continue as if…
3. ⁠The Nigerian Health Sector will just continue in its march to decline, silently.
4. ⁠Their families will never be whole again.
5. ⁠The Nigerian Government simply cares little or nothing. The next election is more valuable to Government, certainly.
6. ⁠The Nigerian People are simply too unaware, too poor, too distracted to even notice.
