The Lagos State Government has launched an investigation into the death of a two-year-old child at Euracare Hospital. The child, who was three months short of his second birthday, died on January 6, 2026. The hospital is under scrutiny as part of the probe.
The Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has confirmed the government’s involvement in the case. The child’s father, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is a well-known Nigerian author and literary figure. The incident has raised questions about medical care in the region.
This is not the first time Euracare Hospital has faced scrutiny. Previous reports have highlighted concerns over patient safety and medical standards. The current case has intensified calls for greater oversight of healthcare facilities in Lagos. The investigation is ongoing, with no official cause of death yet confirmed.
