Lagos State Government has vowed to fish out ‘bad eggs’ among health workers in a bid to improve the quality of health service rendered in the state.
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris disclosed this at an interactive session with newsmen in Lagos.
He said “We have bad eggs among our health workers. It is not a good attitude the way they handle issues. We have investigated such issues before. This is a change period, something will have to change. We can’t be everywhere, but we are going to strengthen our monitoring team.
“We have people who are committing atrocities in our hospitals and we will deal with them. We will embark on aggressive monitoring and the fact is that we need to get a scape goat.”
Idris added that the State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency, HEFAMAA, has been mandated to visit two public hospitals per week to monitor activities of health workers.
He reassured Lagosians that the current administration is committed to improving the health sector so as to ensure the wellbeing of everyone in the state.
