Drama In UCH As Viral Video Shows Nurses With Phones Torchlight Working At Night

A video of nurses of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo state using their phones as source of light has gone viral.

The hospital has been battling power outage for over 17 days. The Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company had cut the electricity supply to the Hospital due to unpaid bills. The hospital is being billed under the “band A” tariff structure, resulting in a monthly bill of N80million.

The lack of power supply has affected essential services at the hospital, including surgeries, diagnostic tests, and other critical medical procedures.

Last week, patients and family members protested power and water cuts in the health facility.

In a recent video by The Cable, nurses of the hospital could be seen using the flashlight of their phone to light up the rooms.
