I worked in a state hospital in 2016, one day a patient started gasping for air, we checked the oxygen concentration and he needed oxygen, there was no cylinder of oxygen in that ward. I and another colleague ran around wards in a teaching hospital looking for oxygen

He died

Till today, I still blame myself and the system for the death of that patient, he would have lived if the basic things were available for him.

That was my fear with this COVID19 pandemic, how would patients access care that would give them at least a chance to survive

That is one of the reasons I respect FMC Ebute Metta @fmceblagos in Lagos, asides from generating their own oxygen they have partnered with @PharmAccessNIG they have launched an app called Luscii, that helps you screen for COVID19 symptoms and tracks you every day

This App checks on you daily to monitor your symptoms.

Is there a cough, is there a headache? Fever, etc

Here is the good part, FMC Ebute Metta's response team will contact you immediately if you fall within the high-risk group for testing. No longer unavailable numbers

Here is where you can download the app, especially now when people move around freely. We are all at risk. Everyone!! You need this app now to stay safe.

For Android:
play.google.com/store/apps/det…

For iOS
apps.apple.com/ng/app/luscii/…

This app will help you monitor your symptoms everyday

If you want, you can call or schedule your call inside the app if you think that the app is not enough and you want to speak to a health professional. I have downloaded it already to test it and it works fine

This technology can give us a chance to win the war against this virus

Let us be honest, Lagos state is one state is doing well in the fight against COVID19, other states should learn from Lagos state. Now they have added technology to help.

We must commend @followlasg for these initiatives, RT for Lagosians on your TL to see.

Download #Luscii

This project @covid_connectng is one project that gives Lagosians hope and Nigerians in general.

We can beat COVID19.

The app will also give you updated information on how to stay safe and protect yourself

Tell others to download it, you might save a life
