LASUTH LOSES 54-YEAR OLD NURSE TO COVID-19

A nurse identified as Mrs Adenike Bakare working at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, has died from Coronavirus complications, according to the Chief Medical Director (CMD), Prof Adetokunbo Fabamwo.


The CMD said Bakare, 54, was the Assistant Director, Nursing Services, and revealed she was buried privately in Lagos.


Prof Adetokunbo said she worked in the critical care unit of the hospital.


“The whole world is saddened by the death of our colleague at LASUTH. We lost her to COVID-19 and it is so pathetic.



“Ideally, all medical staff must be insured. We heard that the state government has insured us all but nobody has received insurance certificate. Now, she (Bakare) has died, what becomes of her entitlement in that regard? I was at the burial yesterday, sincerely, it is sad,” Prof Adetokunbo said.
