The Saving One Million Lives Programme for Result (SOML-PforR), a key Initiative by the Federal Government to bolster Health Service delivery, has undertaken the Refurbishment of five Ambulance points in Lagos, three years after they were damaged during the aftermath of the Civil Unrest in October 2020, known as EndSARS.
SOML-PforR, backed by the World Bank, Serves as a Maternal and Child Health Program that Incentives the achievement of Health outcomes and facilitates the necessary Institutional processes to realize these results.
The revitalized Ambulance points, situated at strategic Locations including the Lagos Tollgate end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Mile 12 in Kosofe Local Council, Third Mainland Bridge, Anthony along Oshodi-Oke Expressway, and Mobil along Lekki-Epe Expressway in Eti-Osa Local Council, have received a fresh new look.
During the Official Commissioning of one of the Refurbished points at Tollgate, Dr. Olusegun Ogboye, the Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Ministry of Health, explained that the earlier dilapidated and vandalized Structures had been replaced with new Prefabricated and transferable architecture, comprising an ambulance hanger and a workstation for the Ambulance Crew.
The Initiative to construct Ambulance points was Initially proposed in 2001 during the tenure of the former Governor of Lagos State and current President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, aiming to minimize response time to Accident scenes, particularly in areas prone to Accidents.
Ogboye highlighted that the Ambulance Infrastructure and Crews had often become targets of Hostilities during Civil Unrest, including the Incidents in October 2020.
He further mentioned ongoing plans by the Administration of Governor Sanwo-Olu to establish Ambulance points in all Local Council Secretariats, ensuring swift deployment whenever necessary.
Dr. Mazeedat Erinosho, the Coordinator of SOML-PforR, emphasized that the Program’s primary objective was to enhance Maternal and Child Health standards across the 36 States of the Federation, utilizing a set of Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs), one of which includes Improving the quality of Service delivery.
