‘Stop Rejecting Gunshot Victims’ – Lagos State Warns Hospitals

The Lagos State Government has strongly appealed to all health care providers, including public and private health facilities operating in the State, to stop the trend of rejecting gunshot victims and other trauma patients, on the excuse of requiring a police report or the need to provide evidence of funds before commencing treatment.

The State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi issued these statements on Sunday, December 29th, 2019 while reacting to investigations by the Ministry of Health, revealed that some health facilities in the State are in the habit of rejecting or delaying care to trauma victims, which has in some cases resulted in avoidable loss of lives.

Prof Abayomi further hinted that several times, such patients, who are often brought in by good Samaritans, are not in a position to discuss the incidence or finance.

He urged hospitals, health centres and clinics to offer immediate comprehensive care to gunshot victims and other trauma patients without hindrance in line with the Federal Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act, 2017.

“These deaths would have been avoided if health care providers were conversant with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act, 2017 which stipulates that victims of gunshot and traumatic accidents should receive immediate treatment when presenting to healthcare facilities”, the Commissioner stated.

Speaking further, the health commissioner noted that health care providers hold it duty-bound according to their professional oaths to first save lives, by offering immediate attention to any patient requiring urgent critical and lifesaving supportive care before any other considerations.

“Such critical care should include where necessary all measures to stabilize the patient before onward referral to more equipped facilities. Simple procedures such as attempts to arrest bleeding or intravenous fluids could make all the difference to saving life,” Abayomi said.

The Commissioner explained that the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act makes provisions for obligatory treatment and care for victims of gunshots stressing that the law stipulates that a person with a gunshot wound shall be received for immediate and adequate treatment by any hospital in Nigeria.

“With this Act, it has become legally wrong for healthcare providers to delay attending to victims of gunshots and any other trauma under any circumstances.

Prof Abayomi while issuing a warning to the health sector on gunshot wounds and her likes stated that “It is in this wise that I want to make it clear that the Lagos State Government will not hesitate to explore this law and to apply suitable sanctions against facilities that contravene the principle and body of the act,” stressing that, the primary concern of the Act borders on access to prompt medical care, the Commissioner averred that the sanctity of human life should be the first consideration for any healthcare provider, irrespective of circumstances leading to an incident involving the trauma victim.
