A Nigerian doctor identified as Vwaere on Tuesday, killed in an elevator accident at General Hospital, Lagos.
The Informant247 gathered according to a Twitter user @lx_amara that the elevator fell from the 10th floor of the building while Vwaere was inside it.
“A doctor who had just 2 weeks to complete her housemanship just died in general hospital (Odan, Lagos island) due to poor management and negligence. The elevator she was in, fell from 10th floor to the ground! Video was so painful to watch,” a post on Twitter reads.
It was learned that the deceased was on her way to the ground floor where she was going to pick up a delivery from a dispatch rider.
It was also learned that it took about one hour for the victim to be evacuated from the crashed elevator, after which she was rushed to the emergency room where she died.
A staff who also tweeted about the incident said the elevator was known to have had issues, and staff had made complaints about it.
“Particularly aggrieved because we’ve complained for a long time about this elevator. We’ve maneuvered, managed and prayed each time we had to use it. Empty promises will be made to fix it….till it killed one of us,” she wrote.
The doctor was said to have been a Graduate of Babcock University who had two weeks left to complete her housemanship.
Since news of the incident became public, some Nigerians have taken to social media to share their experiences about the hospital, particularly the elevator.
