POSTED ON January 22, 2024 •   Food & Drinks      BY Ebiakuboere England •   VIEWS 175

The Lagos State Government says it will impose sanctions on traditional medicine practitioners who do not register with the Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board.

The LSTMB Registrar, Babatunde Adele, confirmed this in a statement on Sunday.

The statement required all traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine practitioners to regularize their registration by visiting the agency's headquarters on or before Friday, February 6, 2024.

Lagos Govt Vows to Sanction Unregistered Trado-medical Practitioners

Adele said: “The order for registration was necessitated owing to the increasing and unbearable level of quackery in the field of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine."

He added, “Under the desire of the Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board to have a comprehensive database of functional traditional medicine practitioners and complementary alternative medicine practitioners, the governing board has approved the revision of the register of practitioners in Lagos State by the Health Sector Reform Laws of 2005.”

He, however, noted that “any TMP or CAMP who fails to renew their license up to date shall have their names delisted from the register in consonance with the provisions of the above traditional medicine law.”

Adele further stated that, under the extant laws, “the re-enlistment or reinstatement of practitioners will attract a penalty,” while noting that illegal operators “shall be heavily sanctioned, including the sealing of the contravening facility, among others.”
