It was indeed a great pleasure to, on behalf of the Governor of Lagos state @jidesanwoolu, break the ground for the commencement of construction of the ultramodern Custodian Accident and Emergency Center situated within the premises of the Epe General Hospital. The construction of the trauma care center is supported by the custodian social responsibility foundation, a member of the @CustodianPLC.

The ultramodern center is in keeping with Mr. Governor’s Medical Infrastructure Transformation Agenda and in furtherance of the

Process for Triage and Management of Mass Casualties in Lagos State.

The first step involves @lasema_NG, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency arriving at the scene with heavy equipment to cordon and secure the area.

This helps to create access for the Ambulance service and specialy trained paranedical staff to reach the patients.

The principle of TRIAGE
Triage is a process of assessing the severity of injury in a mass casualty in order to prioritize treatment to save lives. Some patients need immediate attention while others can be stabilised

It was a great honour for my team and I @LSMOH to,on behalf of Governor @jidesanwoolu, receive the mobile clinic truck donated by @MTNNG

The well equipped mobile clinic truck will be used to conduct medical outreaches and primary healthcare services in 14 LGAs across Lagos State as a component of the @MTNNG Yello Doctor Project phase 3

The Project deploys mobile medical clinics aimed at strengthening primary healthcare system in Nigeria through the provision of free primary healthcare services to underserved communities across Nigeria.

COVID19Lagos Response Update*

In furtherance of the commitment of @followlasg to deploy effective response to #COVID19 pandemic, a brand new oxygen plant situated at Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) Yaba, was activated yesterday, January 8, 2021. The oxygen plant was built in collaboration with @gatesfoundation in response to the second wave of #COVID19 in Lagos State.

Oxygen plants are industrial device designed for regular supply into healthcare facilities. The plants separate oxygen from other air components

Today, I was with the Governor of Lagos State @jidesanwoolu to officially commission the new Armoured Shield Isolation Center powered by @ReddingtonLagos, in its effort to support @followlasg in the fight against the second wave of #COVID19 The purpose built isolation and treatment center is equipped to provide all levels of #COVID19 care from isolation to level 3 ICU care

The medical facility will be managed by a multi-disciplinary panel of specialist to provide services which includes:

At the #COVID19Lagos press briefing today, I explained the Changing profile of #COVID19 Disease & the #COVID192ndWave in Lagos.

Towards the end of 1st wave we experienced;
📍Changing pattern in Positivity rate
📍Isolation centre almost empty
📍Death rate dropped dramatically At this point it was important to balance public health response and allowing the economy to reopen.

📍Schools were reopened
📍Religious hoses opened
📍Social gathering and entertainment resumed.

There was general laxity with the false sense that #COVID19 infection is down.

My presentation at the @LagHealthScheme UHC Day Celebration.

Over the last 2 decades @followlasg had experimented with many policy initiatives such as: The Free Health Scheme; the community based health insurance scheme (CBHIS) aimed at attaining #UHC #ForAGreaterLagos The journey towards #UHC has not been without hitches. This necessitated the establishment of an all inclusive mandatory health scheme to bridge the gap

The objective of the scheme is to reduce out of pocket spend, thereby protecting the population against the financial risks

In my address @lagoshsc forum 2020, I specially congratulated the Permanent Secretary of @lagoshsc Dr. Ademuyiwa B. Eniayewun for his courage to address the issue of bureaucracy in Lagos State health system.

@jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @JokeSanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial In eliminating excessive bureaucratic processes @LSMOH is using digital platforms which makes operations easier and faster as seen in other parts of the world.

This is done by putting in place the Lagos #SHIP - a smart health information platform for Lagos State health sector.

With utmost sense of responsibility, I am obliged to make it known to the general public that I have tested positive to #COVID19.
