Flagged for verification. Veligraph shows the figure as registered but marks it unusual: beds implausible for level, the recorded bed count is unusually high for this facility's registered level, so the figure or the tier may need correcting. doctors disproportionate to beds, the register lists an unusually high number of doctors relative to its beds for a general hospital, denser than one doctor per three beds, which is worth verifying. The number is unedited, we surface the discrepancy rather than hide it.

How care flows here

A referral hospital on Lagos’s care ladder

Healthcare in Lagos works like a ladder. Everyday care happens at the state’s 894 local clinics and health centres. When they cannot treat something, the patient is sent up to a bigger hospital like this one (Lagos has 507 of them). The very hardest cases go up once more, to one of the state’s 17 top-level hospitals.
