Officials of Ogun State Ministry of Heath have arrested a fake doctor, who performed an illegal abortion on a woman with a six-month pregnancy in Akute, Ifo Local Government area of Ogun State.
The supervisory team of the State Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM) had uncovered the crime while monitoring the level of compliance with the Revalidation and Registration Exercise of health facilities across the state.
Chairman of NANNM, Comrade Roseline Solarin, who disclosed this, added that the fake doctor was also discovered to have organised a graduation ceremony for a fake nurse.
He assured that NANNM is prepared to cooperate with the state government in the fight against quackery in the health sector, emphasising that “any nurse or doctor found practising without the prerequisite certificate will be arrested and prosecuted.
While commending the state government for taking bold steps in fighting quackery in the health sector, Solarin lamented that fake doctors and nurses are gradually taking over.
