The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken ownership of a general hospital run by the Lagos State Government to upgrade it to a Federal Medical Centre, increasing the tally of the FMC in the state to two.
The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Tunji Alausa, on Thursday, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), facilitating the upgrade during the maiden Lagos Trauma Conference held in Lagos.
According to the news on the government website, the hospital’s upgrade followed a request by Mr Sanwo-Olu to the Federal government to establish an advanced healthcare infrastructure within the Epe division of the state.
The Epe General Hospital, located in the Lagos East Senatorial District, when completed, will now provide tertiary health services for the district.
The existing tertiary facilities in the state- West senatorial districts with the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idia-Araba; Federal Medical Centre, Ebute-Metta, and the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, are concentrated in the Lagos Central district.
