The Niger State Ministry of Secondary and Tertiary Health has closed down five private hospitals due to unqualified staff and failure to renew their facility registration for the year 2023.
The five affected facilities are Prince Clinic in Tunga, Union Diagnostic in Minna, Triple Medical Diagnostic in Bosso, Chall Dental in Minna, and Daza Primary Healthcare in Beji.
The hospitals were closed during an unscheduled inspection of 40 private health facilities in Bosso and Chanchanga local government areas by the Inspectorate Division of the Ministry for Secondary and Tertiary Health.
The Vice Chairman of the Inspectorate Division who is also the Deputy Director, Medical Services and Training, Usman Abubakar Bosso noted that the affected clinic did not register with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry does not have their records.
He also said that several other clinics were cautioned over poor hygienic conditions during the exercise.
Boss said: “This shows that we have a lot of work cut out for us. Most of these hospitals are a danger to the lives of those who patronize them. From henceforth, we will embark on such unscheduled visits to private facilities to raise health standards.” (The Nation)
