Mistakes young doctors make that nobody warns you about. Not the clinical ones. The ones that cost you mentally. Thread:

@dr_fayinka There’s no way you’ll be in Nigeria and not be aware

@augsby Firstly, are they aware there's a crisis?

What do you think the government should do FIRST about Nigeria's healthcare crisis?

@Ogucheprecious3 100%. Strong PHCs change everything.

PHCs! Restructure PHCs and equip them. Healthcare becomes more accessible and it reduces the burden on secondary and tertiary institutions. This is just one of manyyyyyy things

Doctors working 106+ hours/week in Nigeria. European Work Time Directive caps it at 48. We are running a marathon at sprint speed. In the dark. Barefoot.

The most common reason patients deteriorate fast: They waited. Not because they wanted to. Because transport costs money. Because clinics close early. Because the system wasn't built for people who work all day to survive.

@augsby More investment in the sector- infrastructure, better workers welfare, and better regulations.

@augsby map out the issues from PHC to Tertiary centres, fix them at all levels. From infrastructures to electricity then finally properly improve Renumerations from cleaners to Consultants

@AbdulmalikAny Valid points 🤌🏾

@SegunAK01 Very important

@PeterItebimien Very important

@augsby Making primary health care work

@flames_unusual @Nigerian_Doctor Valid!

@augsby @Nigerian_Doctor I don’t want to be anyone’s hero, just want to make a living

"Healthcare workers are heroes." We don't want to be heroes. We want electricity. Working equipment. Salary paid on time. We want a system that doesn't send us to die quietly in a call room.

@Dr_statesman Very valid

@augsby Improve welfare

@_ayobami0260 100%. Retention is the first prescription but the disease is systemic.

Fix doctors’ welfare first, better pay, safer working conditions, and proper hospital equipment. You can’t keep training brilliant minds and watching them leave because the system makes staying feel like punishment. Retaining healthcare workers should be the first prescription before talking about anything else.

@D__Manuel This! Nobody signed up for dysfunction.

@augsby Dem dey use hero and “you signed up for this” whine person. No I didn’t sign up for shit! I went to sch so I can get a fckn job and get paid.

@NurseUG256 Noted. Now, what part of the point is “ignorance”? the working conditions or the need for basic resources?

@augsby Not really a good idea to spread your ignorance and stupidity in public 😡😡😡

@AbdulmalikAny Facts

@augsby Leave heroism to superman or marvel Doctors are just humans

@Ogucheprecious3 😍

Adios🙂‍↔️
