African Health: On what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, the woman delivered her baby in the Nigerian hospital - but something was left inside her that proved lethal.

"After removing the baby, the doctor came because the nurse was not qualified - and the scissors, gloves and everything used were left inside the woman - and the nurse came and sewed the woman up," explains Mr Matthew, a student in Lagos, Nigeria.

The pregnant woman in question was close to his family and taken to hospital to deliver her baby through a caesarian section; Mr Matthew prefers not to name the woman or the private hospital in question.

"Only after one week did they notice there was a problem," says Matthew. "She was taken back to a General Hospital before the truth was found out."

But by then - it was too late and the woman died; most likely from infection. The private hospital was closed down but that cannot bring back his friend or the child's mother.

"I went to a government hospital and it was not so bad, but at the private hospitals - I don't know what they are doing there!" says Matthew.

In the World Health Organisation's ranking of healthcare systems around the world - many African Health systems list near the bottom of the 191 countries - with Nigeria ranked at 187, fourth from last. Congo and Central African Republic rank 188 and 189 (and Burma is last).
