Celebrity fashion designer Toyin Lawani has publicly criticized Lagos-based Euracare Hospital, claiming she suffered serious health complications following a spine surgery at the facility.
The founder of Tiannah Empire shared her ordeal in a series of Instagram posts on Sunday, revealing that she lost the use of her legs and developed a lung infection despite spending nearly N100 million at the hospital.
Lawani wrote, “Euracare Hospital your cup is finally full, shebi I told you people I don’t have your time yet. Don’t worry just wait for me. I’m coming. 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.”
Describing the complications she faced, Lawani added, “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.”
