A former Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung, has lamented how a hospital in Plateau State did not attend to him because of the non-payment of the admission deposit.
Dalung said he fell ill on Wednesday and went to the unnamed hospital for treatment.
Taking to his X handle, the former minister said the hospital refused to give him treatment because he had yet to make an admission deposit despite holding his medical records.
The former minister said he regained partial consciousness later and made the transfer of the deposit before he was attended to.
“I was ferried into the emergency ward but abandoned for over 4 hrs due to non-payment of admission deposits. Regained partial consciousness later did the transfer of deposit,” the late Friday post reads.
“I was then admitted into the ward and given medical attention. This is the hospital that has my medical records.
“The last medical checkup I did about two months ago was there, but suddenly, I became a stranger because of non-payments of deposits even with the so-called name.
“I took ill on Wednesday, arrived at the hospital & shortly became unconscious after doctor’s interviews. Was ferried into the emergency ward but abandoned for over 4 hrs due to non-payment of admission deposits. Regained partial consciousness later did the transfer of deposit.
“After that, I fell into unconsciousness again for about 7 hours. To God be the glory, I have been discharged after 3 days & recovering. Were it not for partial consciousness to pay the deposits, I would have been Mr. late. Many Nigerians have gone this way. Where is our humanity?”
