The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, on Monday said private hospitals were not allowed to treat COVID-19.

Abayomi was speaking in Alausa, Ikeja, in reaction to a COVID-19 patient who died at a private hospital in Lagos.

He said, “The death that occurred in the private hospital is not something that is unusual; private hospitals are still managing lots of patients with pneumonia, and COVID-19 is just one cause of pneumonia. There are several other possible causes of pneumonia. “So, when a patient is admitted into a private hospital with respiratory tract infections, most of the times it is not COVID-19; we have to test and in the process of testing, if it is COVID-19, we will then try and move the patient to the recognised and accredited isolation facility.

“We are not encouraging the private sector to manage COVID-19 at this point for a number of reasons. It is still an issue of the state and national security that cases of COVID-19 are managed in recognised facilities. “However, patients with pneumonia can be treated in a private hospital, but as soon as we know they are positive for CONVID-19, we will endeavour to move them as fast as possible to an isolation facility. That is not always so easy, especially if the case is developing complications and they required ventilation.”All rights reserved.

Can you imagine

Why Mister Comissioner. What is the special treatment you’re using that they don’t have in private hospitals? Anino be the same doctors and nurses Dey private hospitals

ProfAkinAbayomi But you said in one of your press conference that Abba Kyari is in a private hospital but you don’t know the location. Can you now go and take him out from the Private hospital and keep him in Yaba ?

Why private hospitals not allowed? There must be conspiracy somewhere... At the end of the day this whole secret you are hiding from the public will still leak.

Including ABBA KYARRI

Lol...can we now have the balls to ask, where is Abba kyari?

You said it yourself that you dont know where abba kyari is .. is he out of this planet

So will you people tell us where Abba Kyari is since you said you don't have him in your Lagos isolation center and he's not in any known hospital in Lagos but the FG said he's in Lagos.

Empower all federal and States universities teaching now, we all want to see transparency and accountability. Improved environment is also key like what we are all seeing worldwide. People clamor for private hospitals because of public health workers attitude to patients.

Each time you see government trying curb pandemic and putting the private body out, its either the pandemic is a scam or the government is a scam. So tell us which one are we up to....

Before nkó, who wan die 🙄

Story.

OK, so where is Abba Kyari?

Okeoo

Haba! Where is Abba Kyari?

Who dey talk about private hospitals treating Covid 19? You seem to forget Nigerians don’t even have business with private or govt hospitals. Who go pay their fee after the lockdown? Some think say Govt hospital na die bi dat. Oga na Pharmacy and Patient medicine stood dem dey

Question is, 'where are the testkits to confirm COVID19, or otherwise?' The battle to combat the coronavirus scourge cannot be monopolised, when aggregate healthcare capacity is yet, but a trickle! The thing to do is to make PPE, testkits & training widely available to all!

The British PM was captured inside ICU undergoing treatment, but one Chief of Staff to one President of one Country is being treated in an undisclosed location.

So where is Abba kyari

No let him tell us the reason why he said so ,una don start abi.

Under whose care is Abba kyari then? Some are unfortunately above the law. Meanwhile, well done.

The local hospital are even far more better than the private hospital they are doing a great jog

You can choose hospital and doctor for me.

Then where is Abba kyari?

Scam!!! 😨 😨 😨

Where is Abba Kyari, oh i remember different laws and rules for the rulers and those they rule over.......

The where is Abba Kyari receiving his own treatment

So what about the patient that died in a private facility?

This is government virus not private virus..only the government knows what they are hiding

But you implied that Abba Kyari is treating himself in a private hospital Or is he above the law

What of Abba Kyari? Where is he being treated?

I support it, especially in Abuja. Am suspecting one big hospital in FCT already. Patients and guests are barred from a section of the hospital in the last 2wks, on quote 'due to the presence of a very very big VIP'

Supported
