To this end, the association has launched a campaign tagged \u201cNo Stamp! Know Quack!\u201d in a bid to nip quackery in the medical profession in the bud.<\/p>\n
The association said anybody found guilty will be made to face the full wrath of the law, saying enforcement will start on December 1, 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cKogi held her AGM on the 26th of August 2023, where the congress observed poor to non-compliance of the use of doctor\u2019s stamp by all doctors in Kogi State, which has led to the proliferation of fake medical and medicolegal documents in Kogi State and the thriving of businesses for quacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeetings should also be held with all these stakeholders, and, thereafter, the \u201cDoctors Stamp Enforcement Task Force,\u201d comprising all members of the above-stated stakeholders, be inaugurated.\u201d<\/p>\n
The communiqu\u00e9 further states: \u201cEnforcement shall begin from December 1, 2023, from when any doctor who signs any medical or medicolegal documents without his or her stamp shall be treated as a quack, and any documents signed without the doctor\u2019s seal shall be null, void, and rejected in Kogi State.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NMA SOC swung into action immediately, met all the stakeholders, and is currently collating the names of representatives of the institutions for the task force inauguration.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kogi State chapter of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) has commenced move to rid the state of…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184],"tags":[2174,175],"class_list":{"0":"post-9010","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-fake-doctors","9":"tag-nma"},"yoast_head":"\n
