[LAGOS] It took nearly three hours of sitting, queuing and loitering around Ikorodu General Hospital in Nigeria’s Lagos state before Hadijat Hassan, a retired civil servant, could get the attention of nurses on duty.
The 66-year-old has regularly attended the health facility for health checks since being diagnosed with diabetes nearly ten years ago. But since May, she says, she has had to endure long delays, often while suffering from excruciating pain in her legs as a result of the diabetes.
“I’m not as strong as I used to be,” Hassan told SciDev.Net.
