Ten hospitals/schools were denied
fresh accreditation to train community health practitioners, the Community
Health Practitioners Registration Board (CHPRB) said.
According to Daily trust news, The
board has mandated the hospital’s training programme not to admit any
student until “a revisit after the institution must have implemented the
recommendations of the board.”
The institutions denied accreditation include Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, School of Health
Technology, Nguru, Yobe; Jos University Teaching Hospital, School of
Health Technology in Idah, Kogi and in Keffi, Nasarawa; All Saints
School of Health Technology, Obu-Otukpa, Benue; School of Health
Technology, Oji, Enugu.
Others
are School of Health Technology, Benin City, Edo; College of Health
Technology, Otuogidi, Bayelsa; and Lutheran School of Health Technology,
Iboko-Okpoma, Cross River.
The
board, which published the results of its latest accreditation of
existing institutions that train community health practitioners, said
its action is to warn the public, students and parents interested in
training in community health to be aware of the current status of the
affected institutions.
“This is very important to prevent loss of precious time of our children/wards and loss of heard earned money of parents/guardians which may happen by sending their children to
institutions that have no good current standing with the board,” it
warned in an advertisement on Tuesday.
Only
16 of the 71 institutions got full accreditation, an approval to admit
and train students for the next four years until they are due for
re-accreditation.
Some 45 other institutions got provisional accreditation, allowing them to admit and train students for the next two years.
