Man Slumps and Dies After Hospital Demands Police Report

A man has died after a hospital revised to attend to him due to the absence of a police report. The Twitter user, Michael Ikyaator, said his uncle was taken to the Asokoro District Hospital but was told to provide a police report which they didn’t have as the man was not attacked or injured but slumped.

The man died in his car when they tried taking him to other hospitals.

“My uncle slumped yesterday in Abuja and was rushed to the Asokoro District Hospital, the hospital refused to treat him and insisted on a police report, he died in the car he was brought in, he wasn’t shot or stabbed. What have we done to the Nigerian healthcare system?

Not too long after we lost Moradeun Balogun to the same careless system, another innocent Nigerian has to die over a senseless and heartless policy. Who invented the police report policy and why do they still insist on it?

He wasnt in any form of violence, passed out, why did we need to bring a police report??? All of the hospital staff at Asokoro District Hospital refused to treat until he died in car he was brought in. I am lost for words here.”
