The Management of the Lagos University Teaching University (LUTH), Idi Araba has clarified issues concerning one of its patients, Miss Mayowa Ahmed saying she is an old patient of the teaching hospital who has been on treatment for another condition.
In a statement from the hospital, the management said the 31year-old lady came into the Private Wing of LUTH on Monday, 25th July, 2016 with a history and clinical features of an intra-abdominal mass. The family and the patient brought along some results of laboratory investigations ordered and done from outside LUTH. Three different Specialists were invited to review Mayowa. The Gynaecologist, Oncologist and Haematologist all arrived at a tentative diagnosis of an abdominal malignancy. They planned to conduct a series of fresh tests to confirm the definitive diagnosis, since the earlier tests were neither requested nor authorised by any doctor from LUTH.
“The family, however requested to fly Miss Ahmed outside the country barely 24 hours after her admission in LUTH, thus stalling all the planned investigations meant to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. We were able to transfuse her with much-needed blood only after lots of persuasion where the family was told point blank that it was risky for her to travel by air, given her low blood count. Today is the 3rd day after admission and a definitive diagnosis has not yet been made while the relations insist on their own to carry her abroad. LUTH has only dealt with Miss Ahmed and her relations throughout her stay and not with any other third party. Contrary to any circulating information, the Lagos University Teaching Hospital did not refer Miss Ahmed overseas and this Institution is not involved with any fund-raising activity or activist on her behalf,”the statement read.
LUTH said there was a disturbance of the peace yesterday (today) around the ward premises, when an altercation involving Miss Ahmed’s relatives and persons not known to the Hospital ensued, the police were invited to restore peace in the Hospital. Both parties are presently with the police and we urge the general public to patiently await the outcome of the ongoing police investigations.
The hospital said it enjoined the good-natured public, the press and all philanthropists to seek the expert opinions of specialists in Nigeria if we want to maximise the gains of their concerted efforts and selfless contribution towards alleviating the suffering of fellow Nigerians.
Haba! 419 ni ye oo! Is this what Nigeria has become under APC go ernment? Lies and deceit everywhere. It is sad!
ReplyDeleteActually, this is the fall out of the deceitful way PDP led Nigeria.
DeleteLook for yourself, even with the abundant revelations of mind boggling and senseless Treasury Looting, you still see GEJ / PDP claiming innocence which total shows a Corrupt and highly irresponsible mind sets.
GEJ / PDP are indeed children of Belial. It's unfortunate that they ever existed in Nigeria!
I regret wasting my vote on this clueless selfish wicked and incompetent APC government. You will know how far when your children start to suffer kworshiokor! ....stay there and be calling GEJ and PDP. For your information a man was reported to have exchanged his little son with a bag of rice in kano. And an idiotic fool like you is still talking rubbish out of stupid sentiment. I voted for apc and I did not bargain or forsee this total failure on their side. So if you have nothing to say keep quiet. Olosi! We re! Akwuya!
DeleteCould you be sincere for once. As far back as 2013 Okonjo Iweala had been complaining about the bad state of the economy but giving false hope and assurance so as not to jeopardise GEJs reelection.In May 2015 after GEJ had lost the election she came out to confess that all had not been well with the economy and that Nigerians should brace up for tough time.She admitted that they had over borrowed far in excess of the budget provision for the whole year within the first 4 month of the year. She admitted they had been borrowing to pay salaries and meeting their obligations to contractors and that they had almost used up the ECA due to bad earnings from oil.What unrealistic miracles were you expecting Buhari to perform on the economy. I havemy grouse with Buhari in certain areas but anyone who expects better performance of the economy for now is insincere given the factors that are responsible for that.
DeleteWhat happened here has nothing to do with Government. It is Mayowa's family that are perpetrating the evil and it's all because people no longer fear God.
ReplyDeleteMy worry remains how would the donors feel now? This kind of dirty deal will definitely block genuine help seeker(s) in one way or the other.
We are suffering from the PDP misrule which we endured since 1999. it came to a head in the last 6 years under GEJ. It will take a lot to restore what has been destroyed. Naija take heart it shall be well with us
ReplyDeleteEgi & Anonymous 4:47am; wetin concern parties / govt with this story? Both of you, Abeg make we hear word.
ReplyDeleteIf at the end of the day, this actually turns out to be a scam, Nigerians will be reluctant to donate funds for those that actually needs it.
ReplyDeleteThings have really gone bad in Nigeria,
And what has political party got to do with the issue at hand. How does I'll governance of any kind become a license for dishonesty or fraudulent practice. As said, investigations are ongoing on this issue and we will all know in due cause what the truth is. It's well with us. Amen.
ReplyDeleteSelfish family, u must fear God.
