Lagos State Police Command and Lagos State Health Service Commission don begin discussions on how to tighten security for hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the state.

The main aim na to make sure say doctors, nurses, other medical workers, patients and hospital properties dey properly protected, while healthcare workers fit do their jobs without fear or unnecessary disruption.

The discussion come after the Chairman of Lagos State Health Service Commission, Oguntimehin Olukayode, lead a delegation go pay courtesy visit to the Commissioner of Police for Lagos State Command, Tijani Fatai, for the police headquarters for Ikeja.

During the meeting, both sides discuss how police fit give stronger support to healthcare facilities and how better cooperation between security and health authorities fit improve healthcare service delivery across Lagos.

The police commissioner welcome the delegation and emphasise say government agencies need to work together if dem want public services to function properly and residents to feel safe.

According to the police, stronger partnership between the two institutions go help improve public service delivery while also protecting the safety and well-being of Lagos residents.

Although the police no mention any particular hospital or specific security incident wey trigger the meeting, the engagement show say security around healthcare facilities don become an important matter for the state.

And make we reason am well: hospital na place where people dey go when dem sick, injured or dey fight for their lives. Doctors and nurses need peaceful environment to work, while patients and their relatives also need assurance say dem dey safe inside healthcare facilities.

For Lagos, where population plenty and healthcare facilities dey handle serious pressure every day, any major security problem around hospitals fit affect both medical workers and patients, and fit even disrupt the smooth delivery of healthcare services.

The latest meeting therefore fit open door for more police support, better coordination and stronger security arrangements around hospitals and other health facilities across the state.
