LP mourns Lagos doctor, Diaso, says death avoidable

Lagos State Chapter of the Labour Party (LP), yesterday, commiserated with the family and colleagues of the late Dr Vwaere Diaso, who died in a faulty elevator at Lagos hospital.

Diaso, a female medical house officer, died on Tuesday due to injuries sustained after she was trapped for more than 40 minutes in a crashed elevator at the Lagos Island General Hospital, Odan.

The doctor reportedly died a few weeks to the completion of her Housemanship. In a statement signed by its Chairman, Dayo Ekong, the party described the demise of Diaso as avoidable.

Ekong said: “The death of Vwaere Diaso is not only avoidable but very painful and a pointer to the decrepit infrastructure and inefficient of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led Lagos State Government.

“We commiserate with the family of the shining star medical doctor on the death of their promising daughter.

“It is only the Almighty God that can console the family on this tragic and avoidable death of your promising daughter. It occurred due to the failure of the Lagos State Government. Please accept our condolences.”
