The percentage of death rate as a result of treatment by in experienced Doctor and Nurses are numerous. Our intelligent and future hopes were deformed by one disease or the other because of treatment by non-experts. ODUTOLA, (1997) in his book demonstrated that “our hospitals have become mere consulting clinics”. “Our health care system has collapsed” “Our hospital are short everything” What then is our hope and aim towards achieving the goal of vision 2010.
