Katsina State Assembly Urges Suspension of Illegal Health Schools

The Katsina State House of Assembly has urgently called on the Executive Arm of Katsina state Government to suspend all health education schools, nursing and midwifery schools, which are not owned by the government or are not registered officially.

Hausa Daily Post reported that the call followed an emergency meeting held by the Assembly and the Katsina State Medical Association, where the members of the association complained about the way such schools graduate students who are not qualified, which according to them, causes harm in the health sector.

They also gave several examples of incidents that have happened due to the incapacity of students who have graduated from the schools.

During the session of the assembly on Monday March 25, 2024, 34 members of the Katsina state assembly, including the speaker of the assembly, Nasir Yahaya Daura, quickly approved the resolution.

Without wasting time, the speaker of the assembly ordered the Clark of the assembly to be sent to the executive arm of the Katsina state government to take urgent action on the matter.

The Special Adviser to Katsina state governor on health schools, Hon. Umar Mammada, recently met with the Katsina state House of Assembly to seek support in addressing the issue of illegal health schools operating in the state.

Hausa Daily Post reported that Mammada highlighted the threat these schools pose to the health and lives of the people of Katsina state, particularly citing the lack of proper training leading to medical errors and loss of lives.

During the meeting, Mammada emphasized the urgent need for reforms and appropriate action against the approximately 150 private health schools across the state that are operating illegally.

He expressed concern over the lack of proper training provided by these schools, leading to graduates who are unable to perform basic medical procedures and make accurate diagnoses.

Mammada also highlighted the detrimental impact of these inadequately trained graduates on the healthcare system, noting that their lack of experience and knowledge has resulted in medical errors and unnecessary loss of lives.

He urged the Assembly to support efforts to address these challenges and put an end to the operation of illegal health schools in the state.

In response, the Chairman of the Health Committee of the Katsina State House of Assembly, Hon. Abubakar Muhammad Total, expressed support for Mammada's efforts and emphasized the importance of taking action to control this issue.

He assured that the health committee would provide necessary support to address the threat posed by these illegal health schools and protect the lives of the people of Katsina state.

The visit of the governor's special adviser on health schools to the Assembly was described as a matter of pride by Hon. Abubakar Muhammad Total, who acknowledged the urgency of addressing the epidemic of illegal health schools that are endangering the lives of the people of Katsina state.
