Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) Zamfara State Chapter has lamented that, medical quackery is alarmingly at increase in Zamfara State hence there is the need for joint effort to curtail the menace before it consumes many lives.
Vice Chairman of NMA Zamfara Dr. Sanusi Bello made the lamentation when he featured in Thunder Blowers Online TV show programme “Tirka-Tirka” on Saturday.
He said the high level of patronage of services rendered by these quack Medical staff called for concern since it’s only when public stopped accessing their interventions government can be able to deal with them accordingly.
He said, majority of the public are running away from accessing the services of professional health facilities in the state because of lack of patience, curiosity for self-description and above all, the quack medical personel are willing to do their bidding.
He called on the state ministry for health to be apt and restrengthen its machinery aimed at ensuring that all those unprofessional persons parading themselves as medical personel are arrested and brought to book.
He also called on the people of the state to support the state government in making sure that this mission is achieved.
