Abuja Hospitals’ Patients Pay as much as ₦37,000 for Bed Space, HIV Test Without Receipts

Gaining access to Nigeria’s public health facilities is now like passing through the Nigerian Police checkpoint. While ₦50 might see you through a police checkpoint on a bright day, Dataphyte research has shown that ₦100 is the least you can pay for easy access to a health facility. In both cases, either you pay or you are delayed while those after you gain access once they comply.
