In a video by @cybae on TikTok, she shared the difference she noticed in how cases are handled in Nigeria and her experience in Canada.
She noted that in Canada, she had to wait for her turn and book an appointment before seeing the doctor.
According to her, Nigerian doctors and nurses can quickly attend to kids when parents complain, but the case is different in Canada.
She said:
“With what I’m seeing here now, I know that Nigerian doctors and nurses are trying. Because even if your pikin don vomit hundred times, you will wait till your turn. You will have an appointment before you go to the hospital.”

In a chat with Legit.ng, a Canadian-based Nigerian woman, Harriet George, shared the difference she noticed between hospitals in both countries.
She said:
"Nigerian hospitals and Canadian hospitals are so much different. The difference I saw is like a huge gap. First of all, I was pregnant in Nigeria when I just got married. And the treatment I got from Nigeria, even though I had a miscarriage then, is totally different from the treatment I got when I was pregnant in Canada.
"In Canada, the staff are really nice. They are respectful, and they are very professional. And they are very caring. You would almost feel like family. You feel the care. But in Nigeria, sometimes they can be very rude.
"I remember the day I had a miscarriage, and I went to the hospital. And my husband was like, "she's bleeding, she's bleeding, it's an emergency". They didn't even care. They were like, "Abeg, this does not look like an emergency. And he was really angry."

"Anything people say dnt get to me because I know that me and majority of my colleagues are doing our best, with peanut pay and insufficient equipments to work, no provision for emergency. I know that none health workers can’t relate to what we go through and have little or no understanding on how this things works so I dnt allow the bullying gets to me."
