Anambra State governor Chukwuma Soludo PHOTO: Twitter Anambra State government has commenced training for its task force team to monitor hospitals to curb operations of quack doctors in the state. The three-day training was organised by the state Ministry of Health in collaboration with the National Agency for the Control of AIDS under the Resilient and Sustainable System for Health initiative of the state government. Commissioner for Health, Dr Afam Obidike, at the opening of the training, yesterday, in Awka, said that many hospitals in the rural areas are run by quacks and secondary school dropouts. He harped on the need to improve healthcare service delivery in both public and private health facilities, as well as to protect the health of residents. “Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration set up this task force for the continuous monitoring, supervision, and strategic means of identifying quacks and fake hospitals in the state. “It is sad to note that many of those who operate health facilities, especially in the rural areas, are not medical personnel, while some are secondary school drop-outs. “We have sealed up many hospitals where quacks operate, because their operations endanger the lives of residents.’’ “This capacity training is to strengthen the task force to improve healthcare delivery and not to witch-hunt. It is so that our people can receive quality care, as well as have trust in the healthcare system of the state,” he said. 3 mins ago A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked a ban on TikTok set to come into effect next year in Montana, saying the popular video sharing app was likely to win its pending legal challenge. 7 mins ago Progressive frontliners have called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to put in place measures aimed at averting the impending defection of Senator Senator David Jimkuta and House of Representatives member Mark Useni to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 13 mins ago A student of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Ogundele Inioluwa Esther, has emerged as the overall winner of a national spelling bee competition for tertiary institutions in Nigeria, winning a cash prize of N1 million. 33 mins ago Delta state Governor, Rt.
