The Lagos State Government has announced its plan to set up a fee-paying isolation centre in Gbagada.
According to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a statement on Sunday, the state-owned Isolation Center in Gbagada would be converted to a fee-paying facility that people can select to be treated.
Sanwo-Olu noted that the move is to meet with the “growing clamour by patients and families who are willing to pay for Covid-19 treatment but would like to do
so at a cost that is lower than is currently obtainable at private.”
The governor, however, assured that the “Covid Treatment Facility in Yaba will continue to offer free and high-quality treatment to all persons.”
He added that “Gbagada will offer treatments at a moderated and affordable cost to those who wish to take advantage of extra offerings like private treatment rooms and more personalized levels of care.”
