Lagos State To Restrict General Hospitals To Referrals by anonimi: 9:07am On Jul 04, 2013 |
This a good health POLICY initiative from Fashola, SAN. However he needs to ensure that the LGAs do their job without the state encroaching and taking over their responsibilities while the over-paid Councillors and Chairmen sleep on duty. [img]http://transplantcoa.files./2011/01/asleep-at-desk.jpg[/img] The role of the state should be limited to - setting standards for staffing, equipment, drugs etc. - REGULAR inspections. - annual award for most efficient PHC and LGA. etc, etc. |

Is it when the person is at the point of death at the mercy of health centre nurses that he's referred to general hospital? For Fashola to have said this, it means plans to refurbish the health centres are underway. A lot of these primary health centers understaffed and underequipped, not a place anybdy would want to go for ante-natal and delivery imo. |

That is the function of LGAs. The states cater for general hospitals. Do you know there is a Supervisory Councillor for Health in each LGA? What do you think they are supposed to do |

Excellent policy!!! We need more people with brains in this country. The big challenge I see is how this will be enforced. 1 Like |

this is standard practice worldwide. referrals can come from phc or private. clinics and hospitals. it does not apply to emergency cases. |

anonimi: True that the LGA chairmen and their subordinates can be absolutely useless. but if the government wants to make the general hospitals only for complicated cases, then I expect them to work hand in hand with the primart health care centres and bring them up to standard. Most of them are nothing to write home about. |

It sounds like a good idea But primary health care centres have to be strengthened and well equipped first. |
