Popular hospital, Medville Global Health Center, located at Ago Palace Way in Okota, Lagos State has been shutdown by the State Government.
This is coming after a man accused the management of the hospital of causing his wife to die during childbirth.
In a statement by the Executive Secretary, Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA), Abiola Idowu, said; “Preliminary investigations carried out by the team revealed that the hospital was not registered with HEFAMAA and it has inadequate personnel.”
“The decision to shut the facility, located at Ago Palace Way in the Okota axis of the state, followed an investigation by HEFAMAA after one Chibuike Nwachukwu accused the hospital of incompetence which resulted in the death of his wife during childbrith.”
“The aggrieved man had said that the hospital induced his wife to speed up labour but 10 hours after that, she had yet to birth the child.”
“According to him, after they performed a series of procedures on his wife, the 28-year-old lady died while the baby was saved.”
“Meanwhile, he said the baby is currently in the Intensive Care Unit of another hospital as he insisted that his wife died as a result of the incompetence of the doctors.”
“It took the crucial decision to shut the facility in furtherance of public protection pending the final outcome of the ongoing investigations.”
