Plateau NMA distance self from quack  operating fake clinic in Jos

Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in Plateau State has distanced itself from one Lukman Luka Abdul , who operates a  hospital Al  Ihsan Nursing  Home and Maternity, located at Anguwan Rogo Jos North local government council of  the state .

It could be recalled that Security operatives had on Sunday, sealed AL-Ihsan clinic , located in Unguwan Rogo Community in Jos North due to allegations of quackery and a reported death of a patient who received treatment at the clinic.
The death of a woman, last week in the community following a surgery supposedly performed by the fake Doctor in the hospital had  sparked mixed reactions around the area with many attributing the death to the surgery, which has subsequently raised concern about his medical specialty.
Sources from the community who confirmed the incident to our correspondent said the action by the security operatives was a response to a complaint filed by some members of the community to the state ministry of health and the DSS regarding the alleged quackery activities taking place in the hospital.
In a swift reaction, the Chairman of the Plateau State Chapter of the NMA, Dr. Bapiga’an Audu, and the Public Relations Officer, Dr. Istifanus Bako, said in a statement jointly signed and issued in Jos on Tuesday that, upon its investigation into the matter described Lukman Luka Abdul as an imposter falsely parading himself as a Doctor and using this guise to defraud unsuspecting members of the Public when in actual sense, he is a quack who does not posses the requisite qualifications to practice medicine.
NMA in Plateau state also confirmed that the quack has been arrested by gallant operatives of the State Security Service while investigations are ongoing.
” The NMA in collaboration with the security agencies and the State Ministry of Health will continue to ensure that these quacks are driven out of Plateau state, as we remain irrevocably committed to improving the quality of health care of the citizens of the state.
