The Edo State Government has ordered the closure of heath centres operating with unqualified personnel, training quacks as nurses and carrying out services that were not registered for in the state.
The Director of Nursing Services, Mrs. Aitesene Eromosele, who led the State Monitoring/Enforcement Team, during a routine monitoring of health facilities in the state, ordered the closure of three private health care centers operating illegally in the state.
The affected health centers are Dominion Nursing and Maternity at Ehor in Uhunmwode Local Government Area, LGA, Blessed Assurance Emergency /Maternity Centre, Afuze in Owan East LGA and God’s Glory Nursing and Maternity Home in Eyean, Ikpoba-Okha LGA.
Eromosele insisted that all health centres operating illegally in the state would be closed down, adding that the management of the Blessed Assurance Emergency /Maternity Centre was yet to meet the requirements for the registration of a health care centre.
