The Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi Araba, Lagos, has admitted four coronavirus patients few hours after its isolation and treatment centre was commissioned on Tuesday by Mr. Boss Mustapha the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
According to Prof. Wasiu Adeyemo, they were three adults and one child. “They are part of those already confirmed, but staying at home. Now they are under admission.
Prof. Chris Bode, LUTH’s Chief Medical Director, said that, “It is better for us to rise up to the occasion.
“With the help and assistance of the minister and Lagos government, we have been able to put together a block of four wards containing 60 beds altogether with enough personal protective equipment and all what we need.
“Admission would still be done through the pyramid structure and that the hospital would be operating under the command of Lagos State government.
“We have a squad of 120 members of staffs, all warriors to combat this condition in LUTH” They have all been trained and are experts.”
