hmmmm! So this' the level we've gotten to. Out of over 30 Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria, the baby will be flown to Ghana for the surgery. Ok ooo...
ReplyDeleteThanks to Yobe state governor for his kind gesture and I pray for a successful operation for the baby. God in his infinite mercy will see the baby through. God has kept the baby for these long. God will be with her to and from. What u still don't understand is why Ghana with all government and private hospitals scattered all over Nigeria. Shame on Nigeria minister of health since independent to date. Shame on you all.
