For the duration of the lockdown, the state government will be offsetting the medical bills of any patient admitted into the State-owned secondary

and tertiary healthcare facilities, Governor Sanwo-Olu announced in a briefing after the State’s Security Council meeting held at the State House in Marina.

The move, Mr Sanwo-Olu said, is to ameliorate the difficulties that may be experienced by those whose wellbeing may have been affected by the ongoing restrictions initiated to curtail the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic in the State. Mr Sanwo-Olu said measures had been put in place to ensure the scheme was not compromised, adding that the palliative would make great impact on those in need of medical attention in the period of lockdown.

“What this new scheme means is that, at this time, patients with the listed medical conditions will not need to pay to access treatment and care in all our 27 General Hospitals across the State.” Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu; addressing journalists after the State Security Council meeting at Lagos House, Marina, on Saturday, April 4, 2020.
