Death of Vwaere Diaso

Diaso was a native of Ewu Kingdom in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State. She was a graduate of Babcock University. About 7:10pm on August 1, 2023, Diaso, a medical house officer, took the elevator to pick up a food delivery from a dispatch rider. Moments later a loud crash was heard from the accounts of Dr. Moye who was standing in front of the elevator == Reactions ==

Reports show that there were several requests by the doctors to fix the faulty elevator years before the incident and the promises made to fulfil them were not met. On August 2, The Lagos branch of the Nigerian Medical Association called an indefinite strike for medical doctors in three government hospitals on Lagos Island over Diaso's death and directed doctors in other government hospitals in the state to scale down activities. They also announced a 5-day mourning. On the same day, the Lagos State government set up an inquiry team to investigate the elevator accident. On August 4, the Lagos State Civil Service Chapter of the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) denied any request for blood for Diaso in an attempt to refute the unavailability of blood transfusion service as the cause of her death. == References ==
