Lagos Shuts Hospital Where Lady Died From Child Birth Over Alleged Negligence
Category: Lagos News
The Lagos State Government has shut down the Medville Global Health Centre
after investigation into the complaints of a man, Chibuike Nwachukwu,
regarding his wife’s death during childbirth at the hospital.
The state Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, confirmed the development in a series of tweets late Tuesday.
He noted that the Executive Secretary, Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency, Dr Abiola Idowu, disclosed that the hospital, located on Bashiru Street, Ago Palace Way, Okota, was sealed for not complying with set standards.
Idowu was quoted to have said, “A team of HEFAMAA monitors was yesterday deployed in the facility to investigate the demise of the wife of one Mr Triplem C. Mchaty (Chibuike) who tweeted on April 3, 2022, alleging that his wife had passed on at the hospital as a result of the facility’s incompetence.
“She stated that preliminary investigations carried out by the team revealed that the hospital is not registered with HEFAMAA. This, she said, contravened the 2006 Health Sector Reform Law. It means the facility was operating illegally.
“She added that the team also discovered that the hospital had inadequate personnel. She disclosed that the Chairman, Dr Mrs Solanke Koya, ordered a full-scale investigation to uncover the facts of the death.”
It was reported that Chibuike accused medical practitioners at the hospital of negligence when his wife, Vivian, was to put to bed.
