… Calls for Registration, Regularization among Practitioners
In line with the desire of the Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB) to have a comprehensive database of functional traditional medicine practitioners in the State, the Governing Board of the agency has approved the revision of the Register of Practitioners in Lagos State following the Health Sector Reform Laws of 2006.
According to the Registrar of LSTMB, Mr. Babatunde Adele, all Registered/Licensed Practitioners are implored to approach the Head Office of the Agency on 21 Boyle Street, Onikan, Lagos to regularise their registration.
He added that all already registered practitioners of Traditional Medicine and Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine would be required to pay all outstanding renewal debts including premises fees to the designated account of the Agency as part of the regularisation requirements.
The Registrar explained that the increasing and unbearable level of quackery in the field of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine has made it compelling for the agency to review the Register of Practitioners in the State.
He urged those operating illegally should as a matter of urgency, seek necessary steps with the Agency to regularise their practice on/before Friday 16th February 2024.
“It should be noted that all practitioners of Traditional Medicine and Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine who fail to renew their license up to date shall have their names delisted from the Register in consonance with the provisions of the aforementioned Law. Furthermore and in accordance with the extant laws, the Re-enlistment/Reinstatement of
Practitioners will attract a penalty, while illegal operators shall be heavily sanctioned, including sealing of the contravening Facility”, the Registrar reiterated.
