LASAEC is Lagos State's dedicated trauma emergency centre — treating victims of road crashes, building collapses, fire incidents and other injuries, free of charge, since 2010.
The Lagos State Government created LASAEC to remove cost as a barrier to emergency care. When someone is injured in a road crash, a building collapse, or a fire, the responsibility for their care belongs to the State — not to the size of their wallet.
Every patient who reaches our doors receives timely, world-class emergency trauma care — evaluated and treated using the same Advanced Trauma Life Support protocols used in leading trauma centres worldwide.
Our primary focus — victims of road traffic crashes, falls, building collapses, and fire injuries, treated using Advanced Trauma Life Support principles.
For other patients arriving with urgent medical needs, we provide indicated emergency measures and coordinate referral to the appropriate centre.
We train Emergency Room personnel — public and private sector — in the practical, life-saving skills the golden hour demands.
Half of those who don't survive an injury die within minutes of the incident. Another 30% die within hours. This leaves almost no room for error — and is exactly why a trained, methodical emergency team matters.
Positioned along the busy Alausa end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, LASAEC is reachable from as far as the Shagamu Interchange in Ogun State — covering one of the highest-traffic, highest-risk corridors in the region.
In an emergency: come directly to the Centre, or have a first responder bring the patient in. No referral, no appointment, and no payment is ever required to receive care.
