Services at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi Araba Lagos have remained available to patients even as the strike called by the LUTH branch of the Association of Resident Doctors, LUTH -ARD, continue.
Disclosing this to Health & Living yesterday, which giving an update of the situation brough about by the industrial dispute, LUTH's Chief Medical Director, Prof. Chris Bode said the hospital was determined to remain open.
Bode observed that all efforts to implore the doctors not to embark on the strike at this time of political, economic and social at this time of political, economic and social trying period in the nation, proved abortive.
We have shut down services too often.
When they insisted on embarking on this strike, we also drew the line and insisted that this time, we are not shutting down.
"As of today we have over 300 patients still on admission. All the essential units such as x-ray, laboratories, labour wards services, and others have been working.
"The emergency wards are open and doctors in all the essential services are working. We want members of the public to know that LUTH is not shut down, we are still rendering services, he remarked.
Over the weekend, a woman was delivered of a set of triplets at the hospital. Bode said the unnamed woman has initially opted to leave the hospital against medical; advice because she had no money, but the hospital management waived the charges for the Cesarean Section and she was successfully delivered.
