Pandemonium ensued at the Orile-Agege General Hospital, Agege area of Lagos, on Tuesday when a patient of dreaded Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, was rushed to the hospital.
According to reports, the patient was bleeding all over his body and health workers including nurses, doctors and other patients in the hospital fled from him.
A health official, who craved anonymity, told journalists that authorities of the Orile-Agege General Hospital informed the Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital about the patient, saying they do not have the wherewithal to handle the case.
It was learnt that the Ifako-Ijaiye General Hospital declined and called the State Ministry of Health officials who ordered that nobody should touch the patient as government was coming to pick him up.
Officials of the Lagos State Government have since picked up the patient for proper care.
