While this is good development, I call on the LASG to replace that lift in the General hospital on the Island that killed a medical doctor last year as I gathered nothing has been done about it till date.

UPDATE: Julius Berger has started work on the whole building not just the elevator. It’s a comprehensive work now for the whole structure. The contractors have been on site for about 2 months, a brand new elevator is also on its way. Keep calm. https://t.co/NM92LLVqiW pic.twitter.com/XERByE7yeW

Are they supposed to bring the medical equipment and devices to the construction site before building the facility itself? Let them finish the building first before talking about equipment. Learn to appreciate good things.
Health workers always prioritise human lives, especially in the public sector where they have no personal stake in profits of the facility. However that doesn't mean anyone can go there expecting free treatment because human life is involved, the best you can get is first aid while you source for money.

It's not about having a gigantic structure, do they have enough equipments?

Have the Doctors, Nurses and Health workers started prioritising human lives?

Massey Street Hospital that almost made me lose my daughter to some "Heartless Student Doctors" about 7 years ago. If not for my wife's vigilance and resilience....

It's one thing for a hospital building to be gigantic. It's another thing for it to be fully equipped and most importantly the health workers should prioritise human life.

I make this as a general comment to all world governments - not to LASG - regarding the bold - Healthcare is one thing that should be FREE.

God bless Nigeria.

God bless Lagos.

God bless the former governors of Lagos who have progressively played their part in developing Lagos.

God bless the present governor of Lagos.

Before I go, it would be nice to have a list of the enemies of Lagos who were even considering replacing this hardworking governor with one intern who is a protege of lamba king. Those kind of people need mental evaluation and some of form of psychological help.

Sonyboom765:
But why do you Igbo comment so foolishly on anything about Lagos. I am particular about this hospital because I have monitored it groundbreaking and as been very angry work ceased before the first floor was built.

This update right here prove Sanwo carefully select projects he want to work on and channel fund accordingly. I am yet to see a single article on Nairaland about work stopping on that project before it got to this stage, meaning the project was never abandoned n only witnessed normal Nigeria delay on construction so what exactly are you wailing about.

Is it that they are too slow with the project n project in the East are done faster or what exactly are you wailing about ?

Till today you Igbos do not give Tinubu credit for building Island maternity which success as now spread to Badagry Ikorodu Ajah Epe. This basic mother n child care innovation is unparalleled anywhere in the history of Nigeria n no state in Nigeria as at today dare compete with it efficiency but here you are doing cho cho cho more than Lagosian.

All your 5 Igbo governors from 1999 till date what have they accomplished that can be compare to 1/million of this project yet you have not created a single comment to denigrate them.

Imagine their useless governors in Abia State for 25 years! Orji Uzo, Ikpeazu and Theodore Orji you will never hear them talk about those three terrible governors, na Yoruba land be their problem.

Why are you typing like someone whose brain is doing overheating?

I shared a painful experience of my life history and all you could regurgitate was the sentiment of not appreciating good things? Who cursed you with a faulty brain?

It's crystal clear that you're not familiar with how Nigerian government hospitals operate. How about you take a back seat and let people share their "first hand experience?".

Seven years ago when my daughter was "rushed" to Massey Street Hospital. The nurses on duty were busy asking "foolish questions" while the child was dying. It took the intervention of a Consultant (who was passing by) to tell them to save the child first and that questioning will come later. As a matter of fact, he stepped in immediately and stabilized the child.

Then, the issue of Oxygen popped up. We were informed that they were out of "Oxygen". A hospital of that size ran out of Oxygen! I had to pull strings in other to get Oxygen from another hospital. What if I don't have the "connection?".

Next, was the issue of drugs. They have this useless policy of referring patients to go source for drugs in "private pharmacies" outside. What the heck was that?

Then, the non challant attitude of the nurses almost made us lose the child. After being placed on admission, the child's condition took a bad turn in the middle of the night. My wife rushed to call the Nurses on duty only to find them watching T.V. Guess what one of them said; "Madam, stop disturbing me abeg. The Doctors will be here in the morning to examine your child". And guess who came in the morning? Some "Student Doctors" who were using my child as a case study in their useless discussion. See ehn, let's just thank God for his mercies and favours that day.

It was that harrowed experience that made me hate anything government hospital. Funny enough, it wasn't the first time.

My write-up doesn't imply "free treatment" as you foolishly opined. It's a call to action by the government to ensure that our hospitals do not only have gigantic structures. They should also have the right equipments and attitude towards saving human lives. And that our health workers too should priotize human life. It's their job to save lives and not act non challantly.

Please always read with your brain intact so that you don't come off as one who is inherently not gifted with a faculty of discernment. It's too early to be experiencing this kind of brain comcussion.

docsholz:
You better use this energy to tell government to treat those same healthcare workers better, to whom nothing is given nothing is expected

ElevationD:
Did your babas ever mention to you that Lagos state used to have two Igbo men and one Fulani man as governors? Do you know that they played their part in the growth of Lagos while you were not born?

DrFunmisticGlow:

The health sector in Nigeria is not regulated. There have been numerous mistakes that ked to deaths and no one has always been sanctioned or penalised. Procedures and admimistrations must always be checjed and investigated but not in Nigeria. Yes that man is right, it is not about big building because before now, there have been big structures with only mediocrity to have around

thesicilian:
You're right.
And so should accommodation, and education, and general care of children and the elderly. But the reality of today's world is that none of them are.

6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.

7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.

8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.

9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.

How was your absolutely thoughtless and reckless initial in tandem with the topic that gave decent Lagosians joy?

thesicilian:
Unfortunately you just wasted your time because I don't read comments that start with insults. To me it's a sign of low intelligence if you can't put across your points of view without insults. Maybe someone else will take time to read through and sympathise with you if that's your aim.

goslowgoslow:
Gibberish! You lack sense of comprehension and you are avoiding the issue that I raised, you just jumped into my mention without following, go back and check the genesis of what I said if not please bounce. You have nothing meaningful to say stop drooling.

You're not wrong one bit. But are big, ultramodern buildings a hindrance to better healthcare? No. Has the building been completed and abandoned for lack of appropriate equipment and devices? Also no. The healthcare system may not be as regulated as we have in the first world, but it's still one of the best regulated sectors here in Nigeria. Nigerian healthcare professionals are also some of the best you can find anywhere in the world, any wonder why they're so sought after?
The lapses you see today are more a reflection of the "Nigerian Factor" in general, rather than the sector itself or the professionals themselves. So if a doctor or a nurse tells you as a patient that you cannot get treated unless you make a deposit, it is because that he or she will be the one to pay or be sacked should they treat you because you were begging and insisting on "life first." Now if one medical professional is sacked for going against the rules to save "one life", who takes care of the hundreds of thousands of others in dire emergency situations just like you?

Let's assume you're the nurse on duty and you have two equally urgent emergencies to take care of, which would you rather use your limited resources to treat, the one that can pay (and thus enables you to replace what you have used,) or the one begging you to have fear of God, as if the other person that needs help also is not a child of God? Sometimes it's as simple as that and sometimes it's more complicated than that.

ElevationD:
Go and sit down and stop arrogantly displaying your reckless and unthought words.

Why did you not focus on the point discussed, which was all about Massey street children’s hospital? What did it have to do with the South east governors that you mentioned ignorantly? Do you know anything about the glorious history of that hospital and how dear it is to some of us? What you know nothing about, do not dabble into it.

If you had any sense of comprehension, you would remain within the topic, showing clear understanding and talking about it. Leave out the South east and its governors and talk about Massey street children’s hospital. Stay on the developments in Lagos, as it concerns all decent Lagosians and Nigerians at large, who were born, love, reside and carry out their lawful businesses in Lagos.

LDaVinci:
It is VERY FALSE to say that Nigerians dont pay tax.
Not only do we pay tax but we also pay a great many informal and unauthorized taxes which add up.
