Lagos State governor, Mr.Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the state government has started to work out modalities for the creation of an economic zone for healthcare delivery to drive more investments to the sector. According to him, the state government was looking at a long-term loan facility for operators in the health sector to achieve local production of scarce medical equipment and materials. Speaking on the newly commissioned factory, Sanwo-Olu said the idea of setting it up was necessitated by the shortage of medically treated PPEs experienced in the wake of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. The establishment of the first indigenous factory producing certified medical face masks represents the can-do spirit of Nigerians. The O-Care face mask is developed with three layers that offer substantial protection against dust, airborne viruses and bacteria.
