I hope they are actually maintaining the standards they claim to have. The current Ebola scare around the World will put pressure on hospitals. Most of our Nigerian hospitals, especially the government ones will not be able to keep up. It looks beautiful though…

With epileptic power supply and no pipe borne water cost of delivering healthcare is very high.

Thank you Coal City for dropping by. You are right. Nigeria, and Africa as a whole needs more hospitals that are well run and that meet world standards. This is where the government and well-meaning individuals can help a lot.
