Questions about a hospital bill

How much is a typical hospital bill in Nigeria?

A short outpatient visit can be ₦10,000 or less, while a few days of admission with drugs and tests can pass ₦300,000. Many people ask AbegNa for the part they cannot cover, since requests go up to ₦100,000.

Can a hospital hold a patient for an unpaid bill?

Detaining patients over unpaid bills is widely condemned and is against patients’ rights guidance in Nigeria, but it still happens. Talking to the social welfare unit early and agreeing a payment plan usually helps.

Can I post a hospital bill on AbegNa?

Yes. Post the amount you need, from ₦2,000 to ₦100,000, add a short voice note, and share your link. You withdraw to your own bank account for a flat ₦100.

Is it a loan?

No. What you receive on AbegNa is a gift. There is no interest and nothing to pay back.
