Chugbo Emeka – an obstetrician-gynecologist in Lagos, Nigeria – passed away on 15 April, 2020, after suffering from COVID-19.Chugbo was 60 years old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Chief Medical Director, LUTH, Prof. Chris Bode, said the doctor was not a staff of the hospital, but was rushed to the facility after he showed severe signs of the disease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He was brought in late so there was no much we could do. He was a staff in LUTH years back before he went to join the private sector. We learnt he had COVID-19 patients in his facility that he was treating. He may have been exposed to the virus from there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“His death has shown what health workers are exposed to in the course of treating COVID-19 patients. Our hearts are with his family in this trying time. It is a sad development for us.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Further investigation shows Chugbo, who was over 60 years old, did his residency training at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department in LUTH.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He was at the time the Vice President of the Association of Resident Doctors in the hospital.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He was also said to have worked at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) as a consultant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
