A medical doctor, Dr. Vwaere Diaso, Tuesday, died at the General Hospital, Odan, Lagos Island, after an elevator she took crashed.

According to findings by our correspondent, the hospital elevator that killed the late Diaso crashed from the 10th floor to the ground floor.

It was also gathered that the late doctor was rushed to the emergency ward of the hospital for treatment but eventually died.

A colleague of Diaso, who craved told our correspondent that the elevator had malfunctioned several times before now.
“On multiple occasions, the elevator has stopped while we were inside. And there’s no maintenance,” he said

He also told our correspondent that the hospital management was aware of the poor state of the elevator but failed to act.

He stated that since the elevator started malfunctioning, the staff of the hospital started reducing the number of people in it every time to avoid congestion.

“Once you open the elevator and see two people already, you just have to wait for the next batch.”

It was faulty and they knew about it. That’s why we’re not going to take this,” he stated.

He disclosed further that the late Diaso had just two weeks left to the completion of her housemanship at the hospital, noting that she was a "very diligent house officer"

The National Medical Association has gone on an indefinite strike until there is justice served.
