Doctor Zo shares take about Toluwanisings

Legit.ng reported that Nigerian doctor Zo claimed that a defibrillator could have given gospel singer Toluwanisings a 50 to 60 per cent chance of survival after he slumped and died in Nigeria.

The doctor, drawing from his professional experience, revealed that he had personally used the life-saving device to revive five patients who collapsed in different hospitals throughout his career.

His comments reignited discussions about the importance of having essential emergency medical equipment readily available in Nigerian hospitals. Doctor Zo also criticised the Nigerian government over its spending priorities, arguing that more attention should be given to providing life-saving medical equipment rather than spending money on city buses
