The Federal Government of Nigeria has taken ownership of a general hospital run by the Lagos State Government to upgrade it to a Federal Medical Centre, increasing the tally of the FMC in the state to two.

The state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Tunji Alausa, on Thursday, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), facilitating the upgrade during the maiden Lagos Trauma Conference held in Lagos.

According to the news on the government website, the hospital’s upgrade followed a request by Mr Sanwo-Olu to the Federal government to establish an advanced healthcare infrastructure within the Epe division of the state.
