Following the heartbreaking death of the Arise TV reporter in Abuja, a user reacted by writing: “Hospitals have kpai more people than they have helped!” While this statement reflects deep frustration with Nigeria’s failing healthcare system, it is both misleading and insensitive. Hospitals and healthcare workers save countless lives daily, often under extremely difficult conditions. The problem lies not with hospitals as a whole but with systemic issues such as underfunding, corruption, poor infrastructure, and lack of accountability. Rather than discrediting hospitals entirely, conversations should focus on reforms that improve facilities, save more lives, and prevent such needless tragedies.
