Good Governance.


This is LONG overdue in Lagos state.
But it is very good and refreshing to know that the bill has been sign into law at last.

God bless Sanwo-Olu
God bless Lagos state.
God bless Nigeria

Government should assist in upgrading private clinics?

Not all government clinics are equipped to attend to gunshot victims, and traumatic injuries. Government should step up their game at the level of government hospitals, they should also set up trauma units. The best some private hospitals can do is stabilize patients; they stabilize so they can be transferred to a better equipped center around. Private clinics are for-profit organizations and most of the things they use are bought by the victims' relatives because they are not available. It's dicey

Not necessarily. He has been involved in a similar case for more than a month now. A woman's sister died and the allegation was that the hospital refused to treat her. The woman reached out to the commissioner on Twitter and he was investigating the incident.

Oh ok... Enforcement and implementation is key

It seems sanwoolu would perform well.

Pls let's still continue to hold government accountable...they are not talking about healthcare funding of such treatment. Don't let's loud the commissiner yet because that's a blanket statement which is not likely going to work if funding of emergency care for trauma and gunshot is not declared free and reimburse to the private hospitals. While government hospital should be stucked with disposables and equipments first before this law. And honestly it's not all centres that have the resources always available.

Let's take govt hospitals for instance, the first lady once said you can't find syringe in Aso rock clinic. Pls if such emergencies are now brought to this Aso rock clinic what do you expect the personel to do when materials are not handy. The situation in most govt hospital is that you bring your patient, then a list of disposables and drugs would now be written out for you to go and buy as there is basically little or non available for free urgent use. Which makes things difficult, basic things are usually bought out of pocket.

In the case of private hospital, it's a business that pays its workers, rent and tax. The burden of hospital disposables is usually based on principle of "revolving fund", this means that you buy few you need, and replace them with the money made from money made from previous use. So if 2-3 trauma patient come in daily. The hospital would surely run at a loss.

As part of being human it is our collective responsibility to care for our selves. We should ask our government about the blueprints of making their policies a success. This one, funding would be a stumbling block and they are silent on that part.

Some primary and secondary healthcare centres in Northeast under PBF( performance based fund) by the world bank do well because all funds for their services to patient are paid to the hospital account to run the hspitals.

Funny but true categorization. Someone will open first aid centre and paste specialist hospital on sideboard.

baby124:
Start accurate grading of hospitals. Most are clinics. If you don’t have emergency ward and can’t handle surgeries then you are a clinic. If you don’t have oxygen then you are a community sickbay, first aid or registration center . Healthcare, drug and food safety should be better regulated by the state. With very strict requirements.

Who will pay for it?

Oh
