Nigerian Man Grieves After Losing Pregnant Wife And Unborn Child Due To Hospital’s Refusal Of Emergency Care

Man Grieves After Losing Pregnant Wife and Unborn Child Due to Hospital’s Refusal of Emergency A Nigerian man has been left devastated after tragically losing both his pregnant wife and their unborn child in a heart-wrenching incident that has drawn widespread attention online.

The tragedy unfolded when a hospital denied emergency care to the expectant mother, citing her inability to pay an upfront deposit of N500,000.

In a moving video that has since gone viral, the man is seen with his wife, who was in labor and still conscious, as they made their way to the hospital. Desperation filled his voice as he repeatedly called her name and encouraged her to stay strong for their children, desperately trying to keep her alert in the moments leading up to the hospital visit.

In his words, “My goodness, Kemi, look at me. Stay strong, look at me. Think about your kids, please. You need to be very strong for me.”

Despite the man’s efforts to keep his wife conscious, she appeared too weak to continue.

According to the caption accompanying the video, the couple had initially sought treatment at another hospital, but they were turned away due to their inability to pay the required deposit. Desperate, they were referred to a second hospital. However, despite their best efforts to get the care needed, the woman sadly passed away, along with their unborn child.

The heartbreaking video ignited a wave of anger and sympathy across social media, with many users expressing their shock and frustration in the comment section.
