The Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abuja, has dismissed claims circulating on social media that anti-snake venom was unavailable during the treatment of late fast-rising musician, Ms Ifunanya Lucy Nwagene, who died after a snake bite.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the hospital’s Head of Clinical Services, Dr Bioku Muftau, said the medical team acted promptly and professionally on the patient’s arrival, administering emergency care, including resuscitation, intravenous fluids, oxygen therapy and polyvalent anti-snake venom.
