Ogun Bans Auxiliary Nurses From Running Health Facilities

The Ogun Government on
Wednesday banned auxiliary nurses
from running health facilities across
the state, saying they lack the
required expertise to do so.
Dr. Babatunde Ipaye, Commissioner
for Health, announced this during a
tour of health facilities in Abeokuta
South and Odeda local government
areas of the state.
Ipaye said the exercise was to ensure
compliance with registration and re-
validation of private health facilities.
He said the ban became necessary to
guide against quackery and lack of
professionalism in the health sector.
“This present administration will no
longer condone activities of quacks, as
they endanger the lives of citizens.
“Eight private health facilities have
been shut down in Abeokuta South
and Odeda local government areas.
“This is in addition to the 58 earlier
shut down for not meeting up with
the deadline for re-validation and
registration of their facilities issued
by the State Ministry of Health since
January 2016”, he said.

*This is great News and should be a
nationwide Ban…Most Nurses see
themselves as Doctors.
