Power Outage Crisis: UCH Ibadan Patients and Families Demand Change
Patients and their families recently staged a protest at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan due to an extended 17-day power outage.
The lack of electricity has severely impacted essential services, leading to significant discomfort for patients who rely on medical equipment, as well as added strain on staff.
A video shared online captures families and patients rallying to draw attention to the situation, hoping to prompt urgent action from hospital authorities and government officials to restore power.
Prolonged outages in hospitals can compromise patient care and disrupt routine medical procedures, which are especially critical in facilities like UCH that serve a large population.
