The Radiography Registration Board of Nigeria (RRBN) has shutdown 20 illegal medical diagnostic centres in Nasarawa State.
The head of Inspection and Monitoring Unit of the board, Mr Ebere Onwugbuchu, disclosed the development at the end of a two-day exercise organized to supervise medical diagnostic centres in the state.
He said that the exercise was aimed at monitoring the activities of medical diagnostic centres and ensures that they adhered to standard practice.
Onwugbuchu said that the centres were shut down for operating without registration, thereby, constituting danger to the society.
He said that some of the centres were not registered while others employed radiographers that were not qualified.
“The activities of quacks in the profession have led to wrong diagnosis and wrong treatment, thereby, causing health complications and even death.
“We cannot allow quacks to continue to operate freely and killing people for financial benefits,” Onwugbuchu said.
He explained that the board would also carry out similar exercise in other states of the federation to get rid of quackery in the profession.
