Why Were Weed Natives Upset With Doctors?

When the tragic incident happened, the woman was rushed to the Magu Health Centre, but those who took her claimed that the doctors and nurses were negligent.

“I'm from Magugu, and the health workers there treated us very badly. I had a cold and I felt very sick, but they just put me on a drip,” claimed one resident, Hadija.

“I arrived at nine o'clock in the afternoon and I stayed there until midnight; I tried to explain to them that I have a small child but they just kept telling me that the doctor would come. They left another woman with stomach ulcers for a long time while she was suffering and they were still telling stories to each other,” he added.

Feelings of Kenyans

@MagrethMallya-we8ui:

God come down and help us, some government hospitals, the service is bad, bad, very bad.

@samwelmwangi9185:

The government should make a procedure to restore discipline and accountability to public servants. The situation is not very good here in the community. God bless it Tanzania.

@KhadijamussaMachapat:

I am the reason why I take action when I know I am sick, I buy medicine for that disease because when you go to test, they tell you sometimes you don't have a disease, sometimes they mention a disease that you don't have. 🙌🙌🙌

@TaNiiOfficial:

Why does my country fail to set a good example for our colleagues who care about their citizens and all health services are kept free. The government looked at this with two eyes, certainly many citizens, especially in rural areas, have low incomes.

@TonyGabriel-w1q:

Pray a lot, may God give you strength.

@basilrevocatus272:

May God rest his soul in heaven… and many hospitals abuse poor people.
