A 51-year-old medical doctor on Wednesday became the first health worker in Nigeria to die of COVID-19 after contracting the virus from a patient he had treated.

The doctor, who died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, was rushed to the facility on Monday after attempting to manage a COVID-19 patient in a private hospital in Lagos.

The Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee of the hospital, Prof Wasiu Adeyemo, said the doctor was not a staff of the hospital but was rushed to the facility after he showed symptoms of the disease.

“The doctor is not a LUTH staff; he was a private practitioner, though he trained in LUTH some 18, 20 years ago. I remember I met him, I know him, he left LUTH around 2002. One of his classmates called me that he has some issues in his private hospital, so I asked that he should be brought to LUTH. He was COVID-19 positive, we started him on drugs but unfortunately, he died this morning (Wednesday),” Adeyemo said.


The LUTH CMAC said he would not disclose the name of the doctor and his hospital, saying it is against the ethics of the medical profession.

First, he broke the rule by managing a Covid-19 patient in a private hospital. The Govt is not stupid by allocating a special centre for the management of this dreadful disease in isolation.

Second, he thought it was the case of ordinary flue like cough and catarrh, so he failed to take necessary precautions by providing adequate protection for himself. This is not the time to prove ITK.

Well, it has happened. RIP doc for your sacrifice.

Just in case u missed

Death was not reported by ncdc so is either fake news or government cover up........




And this is not the first time we are been trying to cover up deaths nigeria might have the highest cases and deaths in west africa

seriously

God help us

By the time this corona virus is no more, we will be having more women than men in the world population because it has killed more men so far. Then I will be allowed to settle with 3 women. May God help us.

Rip doctor

This is sad.
May God rest his soul and comfort the family he left behind.
Good night doctor.
