Lagos Health Ministry Clears Hospital Allegations | Nigeria News

Lagos State Health Ministry clears the air on viral allegations against Randle General Hospital, revealing a 21-year-old patient received free emergency care worth over 75,000 naira — and later got nearly 94,000 naira in state support for follow-up tests. The controversy stemmed from a misleading social media post claiming she was 13 and was extorted; the ministry confirms her age and says the system worked to ensure no one is turned away for money. Also, the hospital’s Social Welfare Unit helped cover costs, including an NGO-funded payment that couldn’t be refunded through standard channels — proving the state’s health protection systems are active. Separately, the Lagos Sports Commission is resolving a dispute involving the patient’s sister, whose sports gear was allegedly seized by local officials, disrupting her tournament.
