This is the living condition of mothers and new born babies at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
This is a hospital established in 1961, which is as old as when the country became independent but still in this state.
What is the yearly health budget allocation used for?
This is a question many Nigerians ask year in and year out without a reasonable response.
No doubt many politicians and their families often travel out when they seek medical attention.
Months back, a report was released calling on the attention to humanitarian crisis, manifestations of corruption and mismanagement at the federal government-owned Lagos University Teaching Hospital, (LUTH).
The report released by Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) noted that the hospital and few other government-owned hospitals in Lagos are in unhygienic conditions, and are dealing with severe shortages of bed space, medicines and medical supplies.
According to the report, these issues at the three federal government-owned hospitals in Lagos make it extremely difficult for many Nigerians to obtain essential medical care.
But the Nigerian government was quick in its response and coordinated denials.
The hospitals affected even issued statements slamming the report and describing the claims as untrue.
LUTH described the report as jaundiced and insincere.
This is shameful, and one won’t be surprised to hear the authorities say that this video is Photoshopped
