Last weekend went down filled with disappointments, where a lot of educated folks asked the question "When did Military Personnel turn to Medical staff that they would be administering Health Services to Civilians?, I guess i shouldnt blame the lot of them because just maybe they might be used to Self/Home Treatment with Local Herbs, Local Clinic or Drug stores.
It was a surprise for me too the first time I visited th 44 Nigeria Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna where I was to stay overnight with a patient. The next morning, it was time for routine checkup of patients, I saw this Lady/Woman maybe between 35-40 years of age bracket, and in full military gear with Khaki and boot, except that she did not have a rifle or side gun on her, as she came to examine and check up on the patient I stayed with.
Imagine my surprise when on asking questions i found out that she was a Lieutenant in the Army and also a Medical Doctor.
Previously I Knew The Nigeria Armed Force do recruit Medical Personnel, But i did not expect them to be working/depolyed in an Hospital that admitted Civilians. So I dont want to budge you with story, below is a Very Short List of Military (NOT ALL) Clinics and Hospitals in Nigeria, believed me they are one of the best in any state. For example the 44 Nigeria Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna is said to be second best in Kaduna state after General Hospital Shika, Zaria which was among the best in Nigeria.
If you have ever visited any Military Clinics or Hospitals in Nigeria, you will know that are more friendly than our regular Medical Centers
