This is really sad. What exactly is a transfusion reaction. I feel so pained here, like I'm related to him.
How could he battle the giant cancer but succumbed to blood transfusion reaction (whatever that is)? Was there negligence on a staff part? Did he have some form of condition that made him react to the transfusion? What? Please let us know.
This story didn't explain that part.
And also, while this may sound harsh, those people at the start of your post were right. Nigeria is a messed-up country and it will take more than good intentions and a few good hearts to set it straight.
A transfusion reaction is a system allergic reaction that occurs following transfusion of inadequately screened blood.
I agree with you, Nigeria has a long way to go, but while we're here, we can do our tiny little bit.
So sorry about your friend once again. And you are right, we can do our little part with Nigeria and only hope it is enough.
