Last month, my 2y8month old niece did a procedure at UBTH(Universityof Benin Teaching Hospital). She was discharged on Monday with an estimated bill of 1.4M.
On Thursday, my cousin noticed she wasn't breathing normally. They returned to UBTH the same day, and she was placed on observation until Friday morning.
Then, it was suggested that a scan should be done to pinpoint the exact location of whatever was causing obstruction for immediate removal.
According to the house officer, she needed to be sedated before the scan, so instead of applying one shot, he administered 3 shots, claiming the child was too agitated for one shot.
My niece went into a deep sleep, and that was the last time I saw her alive.
It took a lot of intervention for the entire state not to be thrown into chaos, her lifeless body resting on my thigh as we moved her body, with her finely braided hair to the cemetery for rest.
NO! I AM NOT SATISFIED!
