Lagos State chapter of the Young President Organisation (YPO), a major facilitator of the Eti-Osa COVID-19 Isolation Centre, has announced plans to donate world-class medical equipment to Lagos State.
The donation comes just as the Eti-Osa COVID-19 Isolation Centre at Landmark Village on Victoria Island will be closed on July 31 after three months of operations, the organisation said in a statement.
YPO partnered the government in setting up the 86-bed emergency treatment and Isolation Centre in Eti-Osa, and handed over the facility to the government on April 22.
But the organisation said it would continue its contributions towards improving the health care sector.
The statement reads: “The Eti-Osa Isolation Centre’s purpose was to improve the capacity of the state to fight COVID-19.

The 86-bed Emergency Treatment and Isolation Centre catered for moderate to severely sick patients, with an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), High Dependency Unit (HDU) and a general ward.
The centre is equipped with six ventilators, monitors, respirators, mobile X-ray, ultrasound and oxygen piping and other auxiliary medical and non-medical facilities.
“As the centre is closing down on July 31, YPO will donate world-class medical equipment to Lagos State as its contribution to the development of the health care system and for many years to come.”
