Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has urged medical professionals to support and collaborate with the government in ending the menace of quackery within the medical practice.
Governor Adeleke made the call at the opening ceremony of the National Executive Council meeting of the National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners, NAGMDP, in Osogbo, Osun State.
The Governor, represented at the event by his Special Adviser on Public Health, Dr. Akindele Adekunle outlined the responsibilities on the shoulders of doctors in the society, noting that any half-baked professionals or quacks should not be encouraged within the profession.
He maintained that as professionals backed by laws and ethics, medical professionals have the responsibilities to save lives even with surgical knives in the theatre.
He noted that more often the irreparable damages done to the body of victims of quacks are forced on the qualified medical professionals for repair which calls for collaboration to end quackery in the profession.
The Governor urged the council, on behalf of our people and as patients would always beckon on their physicians, to do everything within their professional reach to combat the menace of quackery in the system.
Governor Adeleke appreciated members of the association for the support his administration has enjoyed in offering their services during the Imole Free Medical Outreach his administration has embarked upon in giving life to people of the state that may be distressed with one ailment or the other.
