Due to deficiency in our health sector and lack of professionalism from our suppose "lives' safers," we lost our friend; Kafayat Abdulaziz (Kaffy Harbdul). She was a dedicated volunteer, an anti-human trafficking advocate and so unfortunate, a good health advocate.
Alas! As an ardent advocate for healthy society, Kaffy was a victim of circumstance due to carelessness of our medical practitioners and unhealthy health system. Frankly speaking, this cannot be referred to as a medical mistake but lack of value for life.
Kafayat was a lady who had impacted communities, less privileges, and even had a line up of community projects for this month. So many indigent people depend on her to put smile on their faces, as she usually does.
Painfully and regrettably, Kafayat would have been alive today, if her health was taken serious at Asokoro Hospital, Abuja. She would have survived, if those on duty treated her with every sense of emergency and urgency. While she was in emergency unit, her health was not taken as seriously as expected. Her family begged and cried but no empathy was shown. But having been swayed by her pitiful condition, a patient in the hospital had to place a call to doctors and kept begging on her behalf but all of no avail.
As expected, medical practitioners are humans and can make mistake, but they cannot be exonerated when they take lives for granted. Access to proper treatment is human right. Denying people treatment is an abuse of the right of citizens. Lack of value for the life of a patient is violation of the rights of the patient.
We can’t keep silent because we lost one life but because many lives maybe lost due to the same factors that led to her death
We vow, in few days to come, there will be a call for action because we cannot continue to be silent. We have to collectively speak out and call for appropriate authorities to act swiftly to redeem our health system.
We can’t close our eyes to this fact, and we can’t pretend as if these factors are normal.
Our health system is unhealthy.

Humans not flowers. This negligence and non chalant attitude by our health workers must be put to rest.
I stand for Kaffy. Justice for her my mom and all the families who has lost their loved once.
What a very bad health System we have in Nigeria, we lost our dear friend, sister, an health advocate, a passionate volunteer, because of poor health services
The perpetrators of this must be brought to book. We don't want peace, we want justice. Kaffylives
We need our health systems to take a new reform. For it is too dangerous instead if providing cure. This is indeed saddening. I lost a friend kafayat Abdul and also my sister Fatima Gumbi due to carelessness of our health care.
Let's fight injustice and advocate for good service delivery of health
We need a promising health structure

A little show of love and sincere care from health professionals can save a dying soul. Let's all advocate for this.
