Operators of the medical facility in Lagos State will now have the opportunity to register their businesses on-line as the government yesterday said that arrangements had been concluded to set up an electronic version of the state Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA).
The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adeshina, said that HEFAMAA is the only regulatory agency empowered by law to accredit, register and licence premises and locations where quality healthcare services are rendered, be it preventive or curative health services.
She added that the Ministry of Health had been given approval to set up e-HEFAMMA that would enable health providers register, pay and make changes online without having to come to HEFAMAA office at the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, if the need arises.
