The Kano state government says it has shut-down twenty-six (26) Illegal Health Training Institution in the state.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Information officer, Kano state ministry of health Hadiza Mustapha Namadi on behalf of the state commissioner for health Dr Aminu Ibrahim Tsanyawa and made available to Newskeeper.
The statement said the affected institution will remain closed pending the outcome of necessary investigations.
It said some of those un-recognized institutions lack definite sites and offer dubious programmes against the established course curricula, while also extorting exorbitant fees on students and their parents.
The statement read in full: “The Kano State Ministry of Health has noticed with serious concern, the incessant proliferation of illegal Private Heath Training Institutions (PHTIs) in the State without recourse to extant regulations governing the establishment and operation of such schools as specified by regulatory bodies and other relevant authorities”.
“It is of serious dismay to realize that some of those un-recognized institutions lack definite sites and offer dubious programmes against the established course curricula, while also extorting exorbitant fees on students and their parents”.
“Suffice to indicate, this ugly trend is at the detriment of the people, educational development and efficiency of the entire health system”.
“Consequently, the general public are hereby informed of the instant shut-down of all illegal Health Training Institutions (HTIs) in the State, pending the outcome of necessary investigations”.
These include the following:
