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.”

She continued, “Wo after that I was on next flight to UK with my family.

They won’t even care if its their mismanagement, you will still pay.”
Lawani’s post comes days after renowned author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie accused the same hospital of negligence leading to her son’s death. Following Adichie’s allegation, the Lagos State Government announced that it would investigate the matter.
