My Experience At The Healthcare Nigeria Conference - My first Ulog entry

in #ulog6 years ago

I was at the Healthcare Nigeria Conference on Wednesday and Thursday and it was a really wonderful event. We talked about the healthcare situation of Nigeria and how we all can be of help.

Well, it is really worrisome that Nigeria has been ranked the 3rd country with the worst health care in the world. Too bad right? Anyway, since this is a late post, I would only bless your timeline with my pictures from the event, and some highlights of what was discussed.

So many things struck me at the event, but then, I can only mention a few;

  • Suicide is the leading cause of death in our world today.

  • We still do not take mental health seriously.

  • We should learn to check up on people, as so many people are going through a lot.

  • Nigeria is the third country with the worst healthcare in the world.

  • Nigeria has also got the largest number of sicklecell patients in the world

  • Your thoughts affect your feelings and then your behaviour.

  • Most Millennials don't accept that they are addicted to drugs and need help. And that is one of the causes of mental illness.

  • There are less than 2,000 functional healthcare centres in Nigeria.

While some of these findings were quite sad and depressing, solutions were profounded to help the healthcare sector in Nigeria. In general, it was a well put together event.
