Lolo Cynthia has accused medical doctors and hospitals of carrying out Cesarean section on women for the purpose of making more money.


She said she got this information from local market women who told her they prefer visiting traditional birth attendants (TBAs) because they found out that the general and private hospitals around them deliberately carryout operation on them to deliver their babies so as to make money.



Contrary to the thumps up she expected, many Twitter users slammed her for generalizing from questionable sources. Others accused her of been a “Hebrew Women Crusader” and a contributor for Nigeria’s maternal mortality records.

X-rays on a pregnant woman? X-ray to view the cervix? Huh *scratching my head * I wish a radiologist can tell me how safe it is to expose a foetus to x-rays to view the “cervix” …I want to believe dat it was the “pelvis” he was checking on the x-ray oh!
Because I am wondering why not use an ultrasound to see the cervix? Anyway, what do I know I’m just a pharmacist

There is NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING EXTRA, that a doctor in a GOVERNMENT hospital stand to gain from recommending an unnecessary Caesarean Section for women who do not need it.
If this was a private practice setting, you could argue that they want money for their pockets, but not in a government hospital. Let him/her do 15 Caesarean Sections in a day, the take home is still the same at the end of the month.

This your tweet is already responsible for the death of many mothers and babies. I hope your conscience will let you be. Rushing to misinform the public when you are totally ill informed on an issue is just low. How do you know they don’t need it? Keep adding to the problem

Why not try to get more information on this before tweeting? Tweets like this are reasons the mortality rate for mothers and new born infants will fail to reduce.

You should be ashamed and feel responsible for the death of any woman that may likely take this misconception of yours serious to refuse accessing the care she needs to survive. Doctors are not butchers, they are human care givers who are trained to save lives not torture them.Have you read 📜 🗺️ 😂 #jaiyeorie 📎 ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣 🖋️ 📜 COMMENT BELOW
