Why we Mandated Patients to Pay N1,000 Daily for Electricity, UCH Management Reveals

The Management of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, mandates each patient to pay N1,000 daily for electricity, FIJ has learnt.

The hospital, via an internal memo circulated on June 21, said high cost of electricity tariffs and increasing price of diesel were behind the decision to force patients to shoulder the cost of power supply.

The letter, titled ‘Approval For The Recommendation To Add Utility Fee To The Service Fee Charged To Patients In The Hospital’, was signed by Wole Oyeyemi, UCH administrator, on behalf of the chairman, Medical Advisory Committee, and Chief Medical Director.

It read, “Following the recurring power outage in the hospital, high cost of electricity tariff and inflation in the price of diesel which have impeded stable power supply, management has decided to consider measures that can help to facilitate flawless service delivery in the hospital.

“You are requested to kindly implement the approval with immediate effect.”
