Notorious for apathy


Complaints about the poor reception patients get at government hospitals are getting louder, OBODO EJIRO writes.
“That was the fourth government-owned hospital we had taken our ailing mother to on that hot afternoon. We were however told the same thing that we had been told in the three before and as my sister heard those words again, she broke down and began to sub loudly,” Nonso Obiukwu says.
“We were told in all four hospitals that there was no bed to admit our mother,” Chinyere Obiukwu, Nonso’s elder sister, says.
