VITAL TEST SHOULD BE FREE IN NIGERIA.
A responsible government must make vital medical tests affordable and accessible to every citizen. No one should mistake cancer for an ulcer just because they cannot afford proper screening. When we notice strange symptoms, we should be able to visit a hospital immediately, without the paralyzing fear of medical or diagnostic bills. In fact, diagnostic procedures ought to be entirely free.
Unfortunately, public funds are continuously squandered on deceptive projects and inflated contracts. Even if leaders fail in every other sector, they must prioritize public health by establishing free healthcare that goes far beyond basic paracetamol and Septrin.
Citizens deserve to know the actual state of their internal organs.Thanks to the private sector and humanitarian foundations, some help exists.
To the general public, if you know of any facility where people can get screened for cancer, kidney disease, liver issues, high blood pressure, or blood disorders free of charge, please share it and make it go viral. The Nigerian government must do better.
So painful we lost Ogogo to Cancer
