Flagged for verification. Veligraph shows the figure as registered but marks it unusual: doctors exceed beds, the register lists more doctors than beds, which is uncommon. 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.
