Pregnant Woman And Unborn Child Die After Hospital Allegedly Demands ₦500,000 Deposit Before Treatment

A heartbreaking tragedy has sparked outrage online after a Nigerian man shared the devastating story of how he lost his pregnant wife and unborn child due to alleged medical negligence and the demand for an upfront payment before treatment.

In two emotional clips making rounds on social media, the grieving husband is seen cradling his lifeless wife while recounting the harrowing experience.

According to him, they rushed to a private hospital in urgent need of care, but were turned away because they couldn’t immediately pay a ₦500,000 deposit. Despite his pleas for the hospital to begin treatment while he sourced for funds, they allegedly refused and referred them to a general hospital far away in Epe, Lagos.

Sadly, his wife passed away before they could reach the second facility.“They watched her die,” the husband said tearfully. “I begged them, but they drove us out like they didn’t care. How can life be so cheap?”

The incident has triggered widespread anger on social media, with many calling for urgent reforms in the healthcare system and stronger regulations on emergency care. Nigerians are demanding accountability and justice as they question how a medical institution could allegedly prioritize money over saving lives.
