The Lagos state police command has arrested a fake doctor
whose activities in Cares Hospital located in Iba area of Lagos, has
led to the death of several pregnant women.
While parading the doctor alongside staff, it was disclosed that the
hospital has been in operation for three years, and has no proof of
registration.
“They are fake doctors, they have never gone to any medical schools
or any nursing school but they operate a hospital around Iba, the
hospital is known as Cares Hospital, they also have a pharmacy there,”
the State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide revealed.
It was also revealed that the unqualified medical personnel go as far
as performing surgeries on patients and take delivery of babies as well
which has led to the demise of many pregnant women who patronize the
establishment.
“They carry out operations, surgeries; deliver women of their kids as
a matter of taking as much as 200 deliveries, meanwhile they are not
doctors, they are not even qualified nurses, no knowledge of that they
didn’t go to any school and from investigation, we have equally
discovered that a lot of women have died there, because they are not
real doctors”
One of the suspects also narrated the case of a victim who was
“laboring due to an overdose of Oxytocin induction, she was bleeding,
and she bled then and they were not able to arrest the case, as they
were leading the woman down from the delivery couch, the woman fell from
the bed and died”.
Officer Braide advised patients seeking medical attention to be very
careful and mindful of which medical institution they go to for medical
services as making a wrong choice may mean risking their lives.
