Busted: Quack Doctor Performs Surgery On 45 People, Kills 15
By Billy Graham Abel Yola
The Adamawa state governor, Umaru Fintiri, is poised to launch a major crack down on quack medical practitioners in Adamawa, after investigations by his government uncovered a fake doctor with only a national board for technical education certificate has been practicing as a medical doctor in the state and that he has performed surgeries on about 45 patients and killed about fifteen people in the process.
Fintiri made the remarks, Wednesday, during a ministerial briefing in Yola, Adamawa state.
The governor explained that a fake doctor who was employed in 2015 by the Adamawa State health services management board is discovered to have gone only to secondary school and only possess a National Board for Technical Education (NABTEB) certificate.
He added that the said quack doctor has carried out different surgeries on forty-five patients after he was recruited by the Adamawa state government using a forged certificate as a medical doctor and that 15 people died under his medicare.
The governor said his administration will soon set up a committee to fish out quack medical doctors in the state with a view to bring them to book and sanitising the healthcare sector.
He further said, "A technical committee will soon be set up to look into the laws establishing the specialists and German Hospitals, Yola, to see how the two health institutions can work together for enhanced service delivery to the people of Adamawa."
