When Mrs Ukachuku Amaka, a 31-year-old mother of two, fell into labour in July, she decided to patronise a hospital close to her residence. Restriction of movement due to COVID-19 lockdown in Lagos had prevented her from going to the family hospital where she originally planned to have her baby.
“When I got to the hospital, they said they would do COVID-19 test for me. Soon, I noticed that my husband and I had been left in the labour room. The nurse told my husband that the COVID-19 test came back positive and therefore I would have to be moved to another room,” Mrs Amaka recounted.
