Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has vowed to prosecute quack doctors working in health facilities in the state.
Mr Mbah announced this while speaking at the 49th Annual General Meeting and 48th Scientific Conference of the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria in Enugu on Friday, according to a statement by his media team.
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Chidiebere Onyia, the governor said he had put measures in place to track down such quack doctors in the state.
“We have just recently set up a team to address quackery in Enugu State to ensure that those who have no qualifications have no business being in our health care facilities. Culpable persons engaging in these illegal and unethical practices will be dealt with in accordance with the law if caught” he said.
Strengthening healthcare and education sectors
Mr Mbah said his administration was committed to strengthening the healthcare and education sectors in the state.
He assured that his government would ensure the provision of quality medical care services to residents of the state.
“Enugu State is a centre right now for educational and health advancement,” he said.
