The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control is set to construct a three-storey COVID treatment centre in at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH.
This was disclosed on Friday by the NCDC Director-General Dr Ifedayo Adetifa.
Adetifa said the funds for the building would accessed from the World Bank as part of its partnership with the hospital in the areas of health emergency response.
He assured that though the project may be delayed it would be actualised.
“We are at the moment on the terms of reference for one of the requirements that are required to begin to process and submit to the world bank which includes the construction of safety health management class and obviously that is different, the space is different and a beat more diligence is required for construction drawing, designs and bill of quantities. All of these have been put together but we are just waiting for the World Bank also to approve all of that and we move on to the next level.”
Chief Medical Director of LUTH, Prof Chris Bode appealed for speedy completion of the proposed 40-bed LUTH isolation centre.
