Lagos State to Impose Sanctions on Unregistered Traditional Medical Practitioners

In a bid to regulate traditional medicine practices and safeguard public health, the Lagos State government has announced plans to impose sanctions on unregistered traditional medical practitioners. This move underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring that individuals practicing traditional medicine adhere to established standards and regulations.

The regulation of traditional medicine practitioners is crucial for public safety and the overall well-being of residents. Unregistered practitioners may lack the necessary qualifications and oversight, posing potential risks to patients and undermining the credibility of traditional medicine as a legitimate healthcare option.

The sanctions are expected to include measures such as fines, suspension of practice, or other disciplinary actions against traditional medical practitioners operating without proper registration. The goal is to create a framework that ensures practitioners meet specific requirements, undergo appropriate training, and adhere to ethical standards in their practice.
