Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board Takes Action Against Unethical Practice. by adesegun121(m): 7:16am On Jan 25
… Seals Facilities Of Practitioners Found Culpable



In a bid to protect public health and safety, the Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board (LSTMB) has launched a major operation to combat non-compliance with the code of conduct of Traditional Medicine Practice in the State.

The Inspectorate Team of the Board, led by Mrs, Adams Aisha, mobilised personnel of the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSA) as a swift and effective response to protect the well-being of Lagosians.

During the operation, two Traditional Birth Attendant facilities found wanting were sealed at No. 58, Willoughby Street, Ebute-Metta and 12, Ogunnaike Street, Agege, Lagos State.

Speaking during the operation, Mrs. Adams noted that through continuous clampdown and ongoing initiatives, the Board strives to protect the public from unscrupulous traditional medicine practitioners and promote the responsible use of traditional medicine for the benefit of all.

She said, “The Board's operation is rooted in its commitment to create a structured Traditional Medicine practice that is respected, standardised, documented, modernised and protected”.

The Board, therefore, urged practitioners and the public to collaborate in upholding the best of standards, while prioritising the well-being of patients seeking treatments.

Okay, but if their stance against unhealthy or unwholesome practices doesn't cover the murder, dismemberment and decapitation of innocent human beings then they are just playing undecided

Traditional medicine if properly regulated and modernised has the potential to bring worthwhile benefits to the population. The importance of natural compounds as candidates for innovative drugs is gaining traction even in the scientific sphere cos the posses a chemical diversity unmatched by any synthetic chemical collection. The can posses bi and tri dimensional complex structures yet be capable of being absorbed and metabolised by the body.

Reputable work by time honoured traditional practitioners can serve as a blue print for modern herbal drugs. Take the case of Niprisan, an innovative medicine for Sickle Cell anemia that was developed in Nigeria from the blue print of traditional doctors. Scientists at the National Pharmaceutical Institute for Research pieced together pepper seeds, clove flower buds, caprium stem and sorghum leaves, ingredients used by Traditional doctors to treat Sickle Cell across Nigeria. Consequently they were able to fine tune these ingredients into a standardised effective and safe herbal drug for Sickle Cell Disease

Very interesting people are calling the traditional birth attendants Agbo sellers loool.

These people have a board as we can see here and sometimes get trained by the Lagos state govt, there are those licensed to practice, the traditional birth attendants also undergo trainings, they do antenatal, take deliveries, they even request for scan / blood test and they even refer to the hospital . Even me sef was shocked.

I always wondered why there are still traditional birth attendants in this period but then realized a large number of people still patronize them surprisingly instead of going to a health center so it makes sense to train them and license them.

Traditional Birth Attendants might sound like a primitive practice in 2024 but across the globe the play a vital role especially in rural settings where many can't afford or have access to modern healthcare services. Many Traditional Birth Attendants, often herbalists are knowledgeable on the basics of modern healthcare and childbirth. At such their patients in most cases get to benefit from time honoured herbs that reduces the burden of pregnancy and childbirth
