Famous fashion designer Toyin Lawani has publicly criticised Euracare, a private hospital in Lagos, claiming a surgery there left her with serious health problems.
The owner of Tiannah Empire shared her experience on Instagram on Sunday. She explained that she went to the clinic for spine surgery but suffered severe complications afterwards. Lawani claims she has lost the use of her legs and developed a lung infection, despite paying nearly N100 million for her treatment.
The designer has threatened to take legal action against the hospital once she has recovered. In a stern warning on social media, she told the clinic to "wait for me," suggesting she intends to sue them for the alleged medical errors.
You go spend close to 100m for hospital & them go still mismanage your health. They thought I was joking when i said i was going to sue, but i said they should just wait first when I’m stronger i will tell my story, Still suffering the consequences from Euracare right now na another thing u go find go there, na another thing dem go carry put for ur hand.
Till today i still can’t speak well or walk well. I had complications and started bleeding in my lungs. Had to be taken back into the theatre the next day to reoperate again, before i know i stopped breathing, They had to puncture my lungs and destroyed my vocal cords. When i lost the use of my two legs after i was sent home & i ended up back in that hospital again, I had to call the ent doc in UK. He then told them to operate for the 3rd time to take the tracheotomy tube out from my lungs and see if i can breathe myself,
Wo after that i was on next flight to uk with my family. When i got here,
the doctors told me i had to do another surgery again & said i had infection in my lungs & they showed me the big lumps. Still in hospital in & out till date due to this. They won’t even care if its their mismanagement, you will still pay.”
