The Nigerian Medical Association has called on the Lagos State government to offer psychological support for the family of the late Dr Vwaere
“That this death was avoidable is not in doubt as the stories surrounding the elevator leave a very sour taste in the mouth. After reviewing all the facts, it is clear that Dr Vwaere was a victim of gross negligence in the maintenance of the elevator.
“We hereby commend all the efforts by our members in Lagos State in ensuring justice for our departed colleague and call on the government of Lagos State to make hay while the sun shines. “NMA hereby calls on Lagos State Government to quickly initiate measures to assuage the pains and loss being felt by the family of Dr. Vwaere. The government should also provide psychological support for the family and all the doctors residing and working in the General Hospital, Odan. The government should also initiate the inspection of all public elevators in Lagos State and commence routine maintenance,” Dr Ojinmah said.
Ojinmah also called on the Lagos State government to carry out a thorough investigation and mete out sanctions as appropriate.“Let all tiers of government in Nigeria learn a lesson from the loss of this young doctor and make sure that such avoidable deaths are prevented. Let her death not go in vain but become a trigger for us all to imbibe routine maintenance culture. May we never spill another innocent blood as a nation,” he noted.All rights reserved.
