- A Nigerian woman has shared her frustration after allegedly being asked to pay an extra ₦64,000 to have her test results explained at a Lagos hospital, despite already spending over ₦480,000 on medical care.
A Nigerian woman identified as Tobi has sparked reactions online after sharing her experience with a private hospital in Lagos, where she alleged she was asked to make an additional payment before her medical test results could be explained.
Tobi, a marketer, recounted that the incident occurred at a hospital located in Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja, where she had initially gone for a consultation with a gynaecologist.
According to her, she paid ₦23,766 for registration and ₦119,000 for consultation. She further disclosed that she spent about ₦340,000 on medical tests, bringing her total expenses to approximately ₦482,766, excluding transportation costs.
After waiting nearly a month for the test results, Tobi said she returned to the hospital expecting a proper explanation from the specialist.
However, she claimed she was told to pay an extra ₦64,000 before the gynaecologist could interpret the results.
“I almost lost it with them! They said it’s the policy,” she said.
Unable to afford the additional fee, Tobi requested that the hospital send her results via email instead.
She described the experience as disappointing, noting that she had already spent a substantial amount on her healthcare.
“I’m heartbroken and disappointed,” she added.
