Lolz, ignorance is never an excuse. If you don't know anything, admit you don't know and stop arguing and learn. That's why google is your friend

I think you are the one that needs to know how to use google. Please stop the argument already.
And Lagos state university and university of Lagos are two different things.
Luth is for Unilag (University of Lagos)
Lasuth is for LASU ( Lagos state university)

You may be too arrogant to admit and apologize to the people you are arguing with, but you can just keep quiet and walk away in shame

Shikena:
Repeat this to yourself 10 times so it can make sense:

University of Lagos (UNILAG) - established & owned by Federal Government of Nigeria. First generation university and one of the Big 5 (oldest).

Lagos State University (LASU) - established and owned by Lagos State Government.

LUTH - UNILAG College of Medicine's teaching hospital.

LASUTH - LASU College of Medicine's teaching hospital.

LUTH has been in existence long before LASU was established.

The guy is ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Rather than admit and apologize, he will just keep quiet and disappear

donslmnstvn, hope you have learnt even though you may pretend you did not see the response.

I pray they succeed.
My NGO currently has about 10 children ready for transplant. We have done their HLA typing and they have matched siblings... All we need now are sponsors.

How can I contact your NGO

The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), in collaboration with the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria (SCFN), has launched a bone marrow transplant programme to provide a cure for sickle cell disease. Announced in a joint statement by LUTH’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, and SCFN’s National Director, Dr. Annette Akinsete, the programme aims to meet international standards and address the high burden of sickle cell disease in Nigeria.

The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), in collaboration with the Sickle Cell Foundation Nigeria (SCFN), has launched a bone marrow transplant programme to provide a cure for sickle cell disease. Announced in a joint statement by LUTH’s Chief Medical Director, Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, and SCFN’s National Director, Dr. Annette Akinsete, the programme aims to meet international standards and address the high burden of sickle cell disease in Nigeria.


Nigeria bears the world’s largest burden of sickle cell disease, with many patients suffering life-threatening complications from childhood. The new programme at LUTH builds on previous efforts, including the establishment of a post-transplant clinic in 2019, the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, to care for patients who had undergone transplants abroad. “Recognising the gaps in care for individuals affected by the disease in Nigeria, SCFN and LUTH established a bone marrow transplant programme,” the statement read.

Bone marrow transplant, using a donor from a family member, is considered a cure for sickle cell disease but is associated with risks such as infection, infertility, and graft-versus-host disease. However, advancements in the procedure over the last 20 years have significantly improved outcomes. “Bone marrow transplant is now an approved therapy for children and adults with severe sickle cell disease,” the statement noted.

The first set of patients began receiving treatment at LUTH in late August 2024. These patients were prepared with exchange blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and anti-infective treatments before the infusion of stem cells harvested from family donors. “Both patients are currently undergoing immediate post-transplant care within the transplant unit at LUTH,” the statement said.

The programme is supported by experts from Vanderbilt University Medical Centre and Imperial College London, with plans to expand access to this life-saving procedure. LUTH and SCFN also expressed their gratitude to partners including Chevron, Lagos State Government, and other contributors for their support in launching the initiative.

That's very impressive.

Very good development

Good development!

Lagos Centre Of Excellence indeed ⭐

UBTH in Benin City has been doing this procedure for years. LUTH just woke up 😆

Did you also know that CNG has been operational in Benin City for years? Private and Taxi drivers (especially those running Benin to warri) use CNG and there are CNG filling stations at major entry points in the city.

Somethings that are breaking news in Lagos are actually not new to other states.

Something university of Benin teaching hospital has been doing for years

LagosFc:

Yes that's why people aren't celebrating much about the news majority of sickle cell anemias can't afford the treatment

O can understand the situation. Maybe i'd look for a foundation to speak to for help. The thing is much on her.

Does the woman have other children who are no sicklers in the family cause that aspect is important I don't think 1 person can donate bone marrow for all the three kids and it's 50-50 percent chances of being successful or failing
