Urgent help for a caesarean section.
When a doctor says it has to be a CS, there is little time to argue about money. In private hospitals a caesarean section often costs several hundred thousand naira, so families raise it in pieces. Many people post part of the cost on AbegNa, since requests go up to ₦100,000, and gather the rest from family.
