Opinion: Osun: ‘Nurturing’ Health Complications For Women In the Face of COVID-19, By Raheemat Adeniran
Incidentally, the COVID-19 pandemic has come to affect almost all aspects of our lives, stretching limited resources and necessitating major cuts in government spending in vital sectors, in an attempt to sustain the economy. In the health sector, it appearsthat efforts are mostly focused on managing the pandemic with limited attention to existing health challenges.
It is evident that Osun State is among the least buoyant in Nigeria, with the government giving the impression of providing basic amenities for its citizenry. But it should be duly recognised that the health sector is critical to the economy of any community, as the quality of healthcare available to people impacts on the quality of their lives. The health sector in Osun State appears to be struggling to meet the needs of the people.
I confess that I may not be versed in the affairs of the State, but my experience over the past few months in seeking maternal and child healthcare has soaked me in the reality of the extent of decay in the health sector. Hence, my worry about what may be happening now with the daunting task of managing the novel coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic.
The physical environment of the State Hospital, Ede, is unwelcoming and would benefit from a general revamp of the the entire facility. There should also be greater attention to the welfare of thehealth workers. This, I believe is imperative in this era of a major public health crisis.
