The Ondo State Government has directed all private health facilities in the state to register or face sanctions.

The Permanent Secretary of the state’s Ministry of Health, Dr Adeniran Ikuomola, gave the directive during a meeting with private health practitioners on Thursday in Akure.

Ikuomola, who asked the private health facilities to register with the state’s Department of Hospi-tal Services, added that the move was to eradi-cate quackery and enhance sanity in the private practice.

The permanent secretary reiterated the minis-try’s readiness to enforce the rules and moderate activities of private health practitioners to en-sure compliance. (NAN)
