Nigerian Cleric Condemns Doctors’ Strike as Pregnant Woman Dies at National Hospital Abuja Amid Shutdown of Medical Services
A Nigerian cleric, Reverend Father Celestine Eze, has strongly criticised the Nigerian government following the reported death of a pregnant woman at the National Hospital, Abuja, allegedly due to the ongoing doctors’ strike that has crippled medical services at the facility. The tragic incident reportedly occurred on Saturday after the woman was referred to the hospital for urgent care but arrived to find no doctors on duty.
In a viral video shared on his Facebook page, Fr. Eze lamented the deserted state of the hospital, describing the situation as heartbreaking and unacceptable for one of Nigeria’s foremost tertiary healthcare institutions. He stated that several patients, including pregnant women in need of critical care, were left unattended because of the industrial action.
Expressing deep frustration, the cleric accused the government of indifference to the suffering of ordinary Nigerians, warning that the collapse of the healthcare system would ultimately affect everyone, regardless of status or privilege. He described the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death as painful and emblematic of broader systemic failures within the country’s health sector.
The incident has intensified public outrage and renewed calls for urgent government intervention to resolve the dispute with striking doctors and restore full medical services, as concerns grow over preventable deaths and worsening access to healthcare across Nigeria.
