Adamu Yusuf Misau became a widower on August 5, 2020, at the age of 43 when his wife died during childbirth in Bauchi metropolis. His wife, Zaliha Yahaya Muhammad, was taken to the State Low-Cost Primary Health Centre where she had a stillbirth and died of complications afterwards, he said.
“When they finally released her to us, one of the doctors at ATBU torn a sheet of paper without letterhead of the Hospital , when she wrote to the receiving hospital, saying: ‘Sir, to whom it may concern, please, kindly help and suture the site that I forgot to suture. I have already dressed the site by the time I saw the suture which,’ she signed.”
Adamu has filed a case against the ATBUTH at the Federal High Court, Bauchi. But the Hospital management vowed to investigate the issues raised by Adamu. “I fell from an Achaba and my left arm broke. I don’t like how people sit down for long to wait for doctors. I got treated by a pharmacist but the injury kept swelling. It was bringing out black irritating water. I told my friends to help me cut it off for me to be at peace because the pain was severe.
“In some hospitals, we don’t have doctors, and at the primary health care centres forget about it because even auxiliary workers we don’t have. The doctors are jumping bonds because of the cluelessness of the previous administration to invoke the conditions and we are left in despondency and disillusion,” he said.
At the General Hospitals, Darazo and Misau, there are two doctors each. WikkiTimes observed that a doctor attends to over 100 patients daily. The insufficient medical personnel take care of in-patients at paediatric, maternity and adult in-patient departments. Dr. Samaila Dahuwa, the Commissioner of Health, agreed with his colleague but assured that the government was aware of the situation and that the present administration inherited a “literally collapsed health care system”.
The state government had in June 2019 declared a state of emergency in the health and education sectors. State officials say the government has “constructed, renovated over 323 centres of excellence across the 323 wards of the state”, in partnership with development partners but none of them has a doctor. A large percentage of the residents of the state seek medical attention at the PHCs, especially the hard to reach villages and are attended to by unqualified health professionals.
