@kobojunkie, ^^^I will never loose hope in you. I feel I'm talking to a teenager here. One needs to know the state of Nigeria socio-economic outlook. The issue be say Lagos no fit build such big hospital wey dem dey build for obo oyinbo them. Owing to budget and space in Lagos. But the one wey dem common sence settle fro after years of research they do the work them want. Thank you.

@Kobojunkie,the reason Fashola should be given the credit for providing the alternative to the people. At least some modern facilities are seen here. We need start from zero then to some appreciable level. Don't be dazed that I read through the thread with a sharp understanding and know where your points and your cohorts stand. This inform my contribution. May be you don't seem to know where you stand again. Sorry, confussed?

I have to say I am quite impressed by the LASUTH and Lagos State government for pulling this off.

ideally, its only the A&E of any hospital that should be open, WHY? [/b]because the priority in such wards is  to save the patients life first.the question of transmission of infections is not the overriding concern, EVERY other ward ideally should not be open, [b]I doubt the claim that hospitals abroad have open wards like one of the gentlemen above mentioned.What he probably meant was that patients were kept within the same space but with one patient partitioned from the other,  

Hye-Bits:

@Kolojunkie, so you don't seem to know that I mean you have defeciency in pattern recognition, the reason you are confusing here. You are the victim of pattern recognition defeciency her. Read through my post again, Americana. I cant laugh   . Still not loosing hope in you my brother.

[size=13pt]Pattern recognition involves identification of faces, objects, words, melodies, etc. The visual system does more than just interpret forms, contours and colors. Pattern recognition refers to the process of recognizing a set of stimuli arranged in a certain pattern that is characteristic of that set of stimuli. Pattern recognition does not occur instantly, although it does happen automatically and spontaneously. Pattern recognition is an innate ability of animals[/size].

Where did you get that from

Open wards are normal in any hospital recongnised, or no abroad or in africa

Not all patients have disease problem or infection. Some might be due to to haemorrhage, cancer, heritage diseases etc

and if them need to be admitted, then an open ward is suitable for them.

and incase the doctor needs to do something private to them which requires them being private, then it is easy to just draw the curtain and do what ever.

Third World?  Monstrous?  Ansell describes what he found during his years at County:  corruption, substandard management, political patronage, doctors learning on the job, rats, roaches and always, jammed waiting rooms (“The County Hospital lobby could have been mistaken for a Calcutta bus station, not a place of healing.”)  He describes one night in the ER when “the knife and gunshot wounds had priority.  They screamed in pain.  Blood and chaos.  The drunks and addicts on gurneys as well.”  It was Dante’s Inferno, American style.

CAT scans were unavailable.  Colonoscopies had huge waiting lists and lengthy appointments awaited women with suspicious lumps in their bosoms.  Beleaguered doctors and nurses were inundated while patients found themselves lacking basic items like soap, towels and sheets.

After a while, the new doctors publicly denounced the infamous practice of “dumping,” where private hospitals shipped uninsured patients, many of whom were seriously sick, to County.  They also began a bosom Cancer Screening Program and prevention programs aimed at relieving stress and preventing HIV.

As his grim odyssey develops, Ansell recalls a patient suffering from hallucinations caused by his giving up alcohol.  “Hey Doc,” he called out to Ansell, “last night I thought I saw two large rats.”  A skeptical Ansell later learned that his patient was not hallucinating at all but that there really were rats in his room. County is replete with many such stories, the most poignant about his long friendship and care for Harriet, a woman with sickle cell anemia, among other problems. When she finally died after two years of dialysis, Harriet’s family asked Ansell to deliver her eulogy in a Baptist church on the city’s South Side.

@Kolojunkie,Kindly study pattern recognition in education as prelude to mathematics intelligence and reasoning. Cognitive and ,  I feel I overwhelm you, but you keep missing it all the way.  

Hye-Bits:

@Kolojunkie[b], patter recognition is my area aswell. Ofcourse, as a mathematician, educationist, engineer, researcher.[/b] Some of you dumbasses of NLD need be exposed for all of this unintelligent inteligence that you acclaimed. Shame! So what do you do in PR. I dey hear.

And mind you, wiki is not robort and alien dont post there, Its our den, the researchers den.

Bawss1:

Meanwhile none of the critics here have shown how the hospital in question is failing to achieve what it was set up for.

@kolojunkie, I'm a product of Nigeria education and very well proud of my making, my heritage. Tell me the reason a engineer is not a mathematician. And reasearcher cant be engineer. And Researcher cant be educationist. And Educationist cant be engineer.

My guy , don't let that automatically predispose you towards failing to give credit where due. I agree that the constant praises of Fashola can be annoying, because he is essentially doing the job he is paid to do and so much remains undone even now, but we all need to appreciate what obtained before Fashola came onboard and the effort he has put in that now see him lauded , perhaps a little too slavishly sometimes, home and abroad.

This is not really the thread to deal with whether Fashola gets praised too much in comparison with others. What is central here is the opinion of Nairalanders as per whether they think the Maternity and childcare centre Lagos delivered[b] is medically adequate or not.[/b] I think it is because, from pictures I can see, the health centre is medically functional and adequate.
