COMBO: A photo of Dr Diaso Vwaere and a video grab showing the elevator that claimed her life
The eleven-man panel of inquiry set by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to investigate the circumstances leading to the death of Dr. Diaso Vwaere has concluded its findings on the elevator tragedy.
Diaso died after an elevator at the General Hospital, Lagos Island fell from the 10thfloor of the building while she was inside it.
However, according to the Lagos State NMA Chairman Dr Benjamin Olowojebutu who read the report of the panel on Wednesday, the panel observed that there was no verifiable maintenance structure for the lift installed at the hospital where the medical house officer died weeks ago.
“Following the standards of Lagos State Safety Commission, we recommend that hospital assets be maintained and serviced by the hospital management to avoid needless bureaucracy and such assets should be certified annually by competent professionals,” the report partly noted. (Channels TV)
