Lagos Father Hails 112 Emergency Team for Saving His Seven-Month-Old Daughter
A father in Badagry praised Lagos State’s 112 emergency line after it rescued his seven-month-old daughter during a night storm. When the baby’s fever spiked to 38.5°C and roads were flooded, officials guided the family to meet an ambulance 20 minutes after the call. The crew then transported the child 24 km to General Hospital, Badagry, where she received prompt treatment. Thanks to no consultation or ambulance fees, the family spent just ₦14,000 on registration, lab tests and medication — far below the ₦1,400 they would have paid under active state health insurance. He commended the hospital’s cleanliness and staff professionalism, then urged the government to fix the Ibiye–Checkpoint–Magbon Road, expand primary care hours, recruit more doctors, ensure stable power and adopt electronic medical records. Improved infrastructure, he noted, would make future emergency responses even more effective.
