Nigeria: LAUTECH hospital, second best in medicine in West Africa

Even in emergency situations, being able to reach their medical consultants by patients is helpful in that it affords them the opportunity of knowing what to do promptly before coming to the hospital.
What are some prevalent diseases attended to at the hospital? The commonest communicable disease is malaria while for non- communicable diseases, it is cancer. It is one of the reasons why the palliative care unit was also established.
Besides, the hospital is expanding to a large plot of land across the hospital has been acquired for expansion. This will afford us the opportunity of having an accident and emergency complex. Other units such as the engineering department will also be relocated there.
The School of Post Basic Nursing and Information Technology is also under construction at the other side of the road. Already, the central laboratory building is under construction.
The cardiothoracic and the dental units are to start very soon so that we can embark on heart surgeries. The dental unit will commence within the next two months. The additions are to make a complete treatment available to everybody.
Already, we are awaiting the equipment for the dental centre before bringing in the dental doctors to man the place. The building to house the unit is ready.
Of course, our neurology unit has achieved many feats as well. We have done the separation of a baby with two heads, which was about eight months ago. We have handed different types of spinal surgery and head injury cases.
