The Lagos State Government has intensified its crackdown on medical quackery, urging residents to support efforts to identify and report unlicensed healthcare facilities operating across the state.
The Executive Secretary of the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency, Victoria Egunjobi, made the appeal during a one-day awareness and sensitisation campaign held in Badagry to educate residents on the dangers of patronising unqualified healthcare providers.
Represented by the agency’s Director of Monitoring and Inspection, Olayinka Daniel, Egunjobi said protecting public health requires collaboration among government agencies, community leaders and residents.
She urged Lagosians to seek treatment only from healthcare facilities displaying the official HEFAMAA accreditation logo, noting that the emblem confirms that a facility has met regulatory standards and has been duly licensed by the state government.
According to her, the sensitisation campaign was organised to deepen public understanding of the agency’s statutory responsibilities, including the monitoring, inspection, accreditation and licensing
