15 illegal hospitals shut down by Lagos State Govt
The Lagos State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency has shut down over 15 illegal health facilities in the state.
In a statement on Sunday, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, said investigation and inspection carried out by the agency showed that these health facilities had violated some pro- visions under the States Health Sector Reform Law of 2006.
According to the commissioner, the affected health facilities are -- Kaff-Salam Maternity Home at No. 8, Onabola Street Bariga, Gbayi Clinic and Maternity Home at No. 57, Akinola Street, Bariga, Iya Deborah Maternity Hospital, Eleshin Ikorodu.
Others are St. Daniel Hospital at No. 17, Igbeyin Adun Street, Makoko and Oluwaseun King Maternity Centre at No 24, Ogo-Oluwa Street, Bariga. Also shut are the Oluwadimimu Maternity Home at No 3, Alhaji Davies Street, Surulere, UDYP Christian Hospital at No 62, Sanya Street, Aguda, Surulere.
The remaining facilities are Mount Zion Maternity Centre at No 3B, James Daniel Street, off Low Cost Housing Estate, Sabo Ikorodu, Above Medical Centre at No 121, Abaranje Road, Ikotun-Alimosho and the Saint Medical Diagnostics Centre at No 235, Idimu-Ikotun Road, Alake Bus Stop, Alimosho, Lagos.
Idris stated that the health facilities were found guilty of offences including use of poor facilities, unqualified personnel and non-registration of facilities with appropriate agencies.
He added that the affected health facilities by their practices were promoting quackery by training auxiliary nurses to undertake duties beyond their competence and operating under unhygienic conditions. Idris said, "Some health care providers train auxiliary assistants in their clinics to do what they are not supposed to do.
They are bastardising the medical profession by recruiting auxiliary nurses and unqualified personnel, bringing the profession into disrepute as well as endangering the lives of innocent people who unknowingly patronise them. "We are determined to put a halt to these ugly trends of having unqualified personnel work in health facilities be it private or public.
We as a government will continue to insist that the environment for the dispensation of medical care should be suitable for the promotion and maintenance of good health and we will ensure that." He, however, urged all health care providers in the state to ensure that their facilities meet accreditation requirements, are duly registered and manned by qualified health care personnel.
Idris stated that henceforth, all health care providers must provide relevant evidence of Continuing Medical Education Programme for all health workers in their facilities in addition to providing monthly hospital data to the ministry of health.
He added that affected health facilities would remain closed until they meet the mandatory requirements for the registration of health facilities in the state.

Fuel scarcity hits Lagos
Barely weeks after a looming fuel crisis was averted following a truce between the Federal Government and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) vehicular queues have surfaced in some fuel station in Lagos.
In stations where the products are sold, motorists were subjected to buying from one pump thereby causing panic and anxiety.
Some motorist said they have to pay as much as N200 before they were attended at some filling stations.
When contacted, the Acting Group General Manager, Public Affairs of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Fidel Pepple said the corporation is studying the situation and will react in due course.
Meanwhile, the NUPENG president, Igwe Achese has taken a swipe at the federal government for failing to revamp the nation’s refineries adding that private depot and jetty owners are not importing products presently.

Quote of the day
“There seems to be too much politics in Nigeria than governance. In other democracies, politics stops at the end of an election, and governance starts. But in Nigeria, it is the opposite.”
Politics will not put food on the table of the people. It is governance that will. Let us focus on governance.” - President Goodluck Jonathan
Security official and his entire family wiped out by suspected Boko Haram militants in Kano
A member of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, his wife, his 3year old daughter and his crippled brother staying with him were shot dead yesterday.
Police sources said today that four men arrived on the bikes and entered the home of the yet to be identified NSCDC officer in Hotoron Gabas district. They locked the entire family in a room and shot them dead.
“Four of them came on two motorcycles and entered the house. They put all the four people (victims) in a room and shot them dead” before escaping, a neighbour said.
Although no one has claimed responsibility, members of the Boko Haram sect shot dead a secret police officer outside his house in the same Hotoro neighbourhood in June.
It was gathered that the four victims of the attack were killed instantly when the gunmen opened fire on them.
The scene of the attack was cordoned off by armed security operatives, who have intensified their search for the fleeing suspects.
The bodies of the victims were deposited at the Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital mortuary.
