Fixing Healthcare in Nigeria | Ola Brown | TEDxYaba

​​Dr. Ola Brown pulls out all the stats showcasing how Nigeria ranks in comparison to other countries on healthcare. The data is chilling, but Dr. Brown makes the case for how the hurdles can be surmounted. She tells a deeply personal story on loss and how it spurred her to find answers to fix the burning healthcare questions bedevilling the country. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

You broke down all the points and made it understandable to the layman. What we need is the accountability of the funds and actual FUNDS injection into the healthcare system in Nigeria. I am glad we are speaking up against the administrative issues in Nigeria now. Thank you, Dr. Ola, for this Tedtalk.

Nothing can be fixed in Nigeria without fixing the culture, the mentality, and so the system. Nothing works under those circumstances.

You probably need to fix your mindset first

@@fataiadegbenro984 😂😂😂 We are all product of the system, if the system remain the same, it will still achieve the same result

[@fataiadegbenro984]

@@arubuolaebenezer9986 it's not the system that's broken, it's we the people that are breaking and distorting the system to our selfish disposition.... We are the system and when we change our mindset the system will reflect on that and you'll see a tsunami of positive change in the land

Awesome presentation. But please oh please someone change the TEDX YABA signage😒😢😢😢😢😢😳🤢🤢🤢

[@lawlade]

@E KL oh. Look at others from other countries' signage and you'll understand what I mean. It isn't made well at all. It's a great presentation but those "little" details matter.

You’re right, it’s looks a hot mess.....we can only manage it and focus on the lecture. They may not have the funds to upgrade...bigger fish to fry.

Good one, Dr. Ola!

[@everybody_loveshugs3837]

Just superb!

Health care is key to every nation

[@ms_dunsin]

I feel one of the major problems Nigeria is facing is lack of funds and there's a lot of debt on ground already. There's no money to fund healthcare so to achieve a good healthcare system would be hard

[@iniabasiinyangmme4975]

Nice one Doctor Ola. In summary the government isn’t ready to finance healthcare in Nigeria. It will take more than just tweets to wake them up. Thank God for COVID… it helped expose our government, the selfishness in us and the work we have ahead. May God help us. God bless!

My goodness...one MD for every 100,000. The brain drain is REAL!
