Abuja facility still under construction, say Resident DoctorsGovt must provide protective equipment for doctors, insists NMA
It was also gathered that the Federal Government had posted more medical personnel to international airports to assist in the screening of passengers. The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, had on Saturday said the Italian was clinically stable. As part of its preparedness for coronavirus, the Federal Government said some isolation centres had been identified across the country, with one of the facilities said to have been located at the UATH.
“We heard that the uncompleted building is an isolation centre but we have not been briefed on any modality or equipment in the centre. We do not know what equipment has been brought in to work with. “We felt that we are supposed to be part of this arrangement but we are watching and waiting. Maybe when they open the place, since they did not inform us and they are also doctors, they can handle the centre by themselves. Nobody told us the level of preparedness and what is expected of us as resident doctors in the hospital.”
When contacted on his mobile telephone, he said he was on holiday and not in a position to speak for the hospital. He also directed our correspondent to direct all enquiries to the CMD of the hospital. One of our correspondents observed that pieces of medical equipment were being taken to the centre on Sunday.
The state government cried out for help over the state of the isolation centre located at the Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital, Sagamu. “So, the thinking of the state government is that the Federal Government should further extend it to Ogun State by allowing the isolation centre at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital to be upgraded to an NCDC centre.
He said, “If somebody is in a critical condition and we need the result to know how to administer treatment to him, going to Lagos will take four hours and coming back will take another four to five hours and the time in the hospital too will take more hours that is like a whole day.“And the condition of the patient will further deteriorate because you will not know what to treat if you don’t have the result of the test that you are consulting.
Idiots! But China built an entire hospital in 12 days?
Thats Nigeria for you.But the govt said she was ready before the arrival of the virus and when the virus came nw. U re no more ready. Foul....
Chinese economy on a meltdown; watch the catastrophic impact of Coronavirus on the world second-largest economy!' Buhari's government may be denied further loans as the Chinese economy falter uncontrollably.

Thank goodness. This corodemon doesn't respect anyone. Even d president... Everyone is in this soup
I thought Mr Lai Mohammed said we're ready 🤡
We need our ancestors backing at this time, we are vulnerable on all fronts, if they don’t come to our aid, we are history. Because it's obvious our do nothing politicians can not do anything to save the country but looting the national treasury. But the irony is no one is immune
But how come China build a hospital for this in less than a week?
As if they were ever ready for it. Countries like USA, UK and even China with more sophisticated equipments can't save their people. Bcz of our negligence we now have Coronavirus in our country. Until there's a cure, there's nothing we can do about it
Lool doctors that have gone to the UK and Canada that you said you don’t need? Leemao
