THE Rivers State Government has shut down a hospital in Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government Area, run by an agriculturist, as part of its ongoing crackdown on illegal medical facilities.
The Commissioner for Health in Rivers State, Dr. Adarze Oreh, at a press briefing in her office, said the hospital is among the six health facilities recently sealed by the state’s Anti-Quackery Committee, established by the Ministry of Health in April.
Among the facilities shut down is an unregistered clinic in Ogale, Eleme, where the operator not only provided medical services without proper supervision but also ran an educational program to train unlicensed practitioners.
