Train/BRT Collision: Why We Allowed Victims To Be Treated On The Floor – Lagos Govt
The Lagos State Government has responded to the outrage, following the video of train and BRT bus collision victims receiving treatment on the floor.
CityNews Nigeria earlier reported that the train collided with the Lagos State Government bus with six people reported dead and several others injured.
A video that emerged online captured the victims of the Train and bus accident being treated on the floor outside the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
However, it is no news that LASUTH always experiences unavailability of bed spaces and this sparked reactions among many netizens.
Responding, the Chief press secretary to the governor, Gbenga Akosile, in a statement said the victims were not treated on the floor.
Instead, the victims were undergoing a preliminary assessment in order to determine the urgency of their need for treatment and the nature of treatment required.
He added that triage is global standard practice in the hospital during an emergency of such magnitude.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a video making the rounds about the treatment of the patients who were involved in the early morning accident at LASUTH.
“For the avoidance doubt, no one is treated on the floor. What you see is called TRIAGE! It’s a global standard practice in the hospital during an emergency of this magnitude.
“A Triage is the preliminary assessment of patients or casualties in order to determine the urgency of their need for treatment and the nature of treatment required. Take note.”
