Medical doctors under the employ of Lagos State government, Tuesday raised the alarm over what they described as the imminent collapse of health services due to an acute shortage of doctors in hospitals across the State.
Still warning that health services in Lagos will soon collapse if nothing is done urgently, they recounted that: “This avoidable situation is affecting healthcare delivery, patient satisfaction, mortality and morbidity rates and general health indices. If nothing is done about this shortage coupled with brain drain with respect to the medical profession in Nigeria, the health service in Lagos state will soon collapse.
Babajide urged the State Government to urgently replaced exited doctors as well as recruit fresh doctors to take care of the new hospitals and maternal and child centres across the state. “The Guild also frown a situation in which public – private partnerships were instituted in some PHCs. We believe that individuals participating should build new health centres or hospitals to complement the inadequacy of PHCs in the state and that government especially local government should rehabilitate and equip two PHCs in a year.”
