The Oyo state government has sealed two private hospitals in Oyo town, over quackery and other illegalities
The hospitals sealed by the State Hospital Monitoring Task Force were Wise and Pearl Hospital Limited, Akeetan-Tuntun, and Living Stone Clinic and Maternity, Idi-Ose, Alaafin High School, Oyo.
The coordinator of the Task Force, Wale Falana, while speaking shortly after the exercise, said the move was part of the efforts of the state government to get rid of quackery and other atrocities done by some individuals in the health sector.
Falana, who is also the Director of Secondary Health Care, at the Ministry of Health, disclosed that the government will continue to wage war against all forms of illegalities in private hospitals and clinics to ensure residents have access to quality health care.
He explained that Governor Seyi Makinde-led administration is passionate about the well-being of every individual; hence, there is a need for private health facilities to comply with best practices and abide by the rules laid down by the Oyo state government.
Falana warned proprietors of health facilities in the state that are yet to get approval from the government to do what is necessary without further delay or face sanction.
