Thursday, November 14, 2024 -A video of nurses of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo state using their phones as source of light has gone viral.
The hospital has been battling power outage for over 17 days. The Ibadan
Electricity Distribution Company had cut the electricity supply to the Hospital
due to unpaid bills. The hospital is being billed under the "band A"
tariff structure, resulting in a monthly bill of N80million.
The lack of power supply has affected essential services at the
hospital, including surgeries, diagnostic tests, and other critical medical
procedures.
Last week, patients and family members protested power and water cuts in
the health facility.
In a recent video by The Cable, nurses of the hospital could be seen
using the flashlight of their phone to light up the rooms.
