\"Coronavirus:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A DOCTOR in private practice reportedly died on Wednesday at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Lagos mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deceased, identified as 51-year-old Chugbo Emeka died of coronavirus-related complications which he developed from treating an infected patient in a hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

He was allegedly rushed to referral hospital on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee of the hospital, Prof Wasiu Adeyemo, said the doctor was not a staff of the hospital, but was rushed to the facility after he showed symptoms of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adeyemo said: \u201cThe doctor is not a LUTH staff; he was a private practitioner, though he trained in LUTH some 18, 20 years ago. I remember I met him, I know him, he left LUTH around 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of his classmates called me that he has some issues in his private hospital, so I asked that he should be brought to LUTH. He was COVID-19 positive, we put  him on drugs but unfortunately, he died this morning (Wednesday).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LUTH CMAC said he would not disclose the name of thedoctor and his hospital as it was against the ethics of the medical profession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
