 Concerned Citizen Raises Alarm As Patients Lie On Chairs At Overcrowded Barau Dikko Hospital, Calls For Government Intervention 

 

A public petition has raised alarm over the worsening conditions at Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital, Kaduna, where patients are reportedly forced to lie on chairs due to lack of beds at the Emergency Unit.


The petition, signed by a concerned citizen, Mr. Nasiru Jagaba, described the situation during a visit to the hospital on Friday, September 12, 2025, as “heartbreaking,” citing congestion, inadequate staff, and limited facilities.


According to him, patients were left in pain while relatives appeared confused, as the few available nurses and doctors struggled to cope with the overwhelming number of cases.


In the midst of the chaos, Jagaba singled out Dr. Makama, one of the doctors at the Emergency Unit, for commendation. He described him as “a hero who, despite exhaustion, continued to give his strength, skill, and heart to saving lives.”


While calling on the Kaduna State Government to recognize and reward the doctor’s efforts, Jagaba stressed that one man’s sacrifice was not enough to fix a failing system.


He urged the government to immediately decongest Barau Dikko by transferring excess patients to the newly built hospital in Millennium City. He also called for the recruitment of more doctors and nurses, as well as the provision of additional facilities and equipment to ensure that patients are treated with dignity.


“This is not politics. This is about human life. Every passing day without action means another preventable death,” the petition stated.


Jagaba appealed to the state government to act swiftly, saying citizens must not continue to lose their lives due to challenges that could be resolved with decisive intervention.
