A Nigerian nurse has reportedly been extradited from England after she was reportedly found praying for a terminally ill patient who was about to die.
This is according to an X user who identifies himself as Dr. Olufunmilayo who said that the nurse was found guilty of praying for a patient, which is considered unacceptable in the UK health system.
He explained that it is considered unethical for health workers or nurses to bring religion into their work. He added that even if a patient asks a nurse to pray for them, the nurse should invite a priest or priest to pray instead of doing it themselves.
He shared the story online to warn African health workers immigrating to the UK against praying for patients to avoid facing a similar situation.
Read his full tweet below, "I have just read the sad story of a Nigerian who came to the UK and was hired by an agency to work as a carer for the elderly. She was given the responsibility of caring for an elderly patient who was dying and was reported to have "prayed for the client's recovery". Yes. She was fired and deported from England."
"For those who are shocked by the issue of deportation, let me explain more. As a healthcare practitioner in the UK, it is unethical to associate religion or impose your religious views on patients/clients.”
"It is considered an abuse of trust and abuse of your position. You are expected to just do your job and focus on your job.
