Nigerian Hospitals No Longer Need Police Clearance To Treat Gunshot Victims by kocvalour(m): 8:18am On Jul 13, 2017 |
A new law passed by Nigerian senators makes it compulsory for hospitals to treat all victims of gunshots. The Compulsory Treatment and Care of Victims of Gunshot Bill of 2017 which was passed by the Nigerian Senate on Tuesday ensures that gunshot victims receive necessary treatment from medical workers as well as assistance from security agencies. Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said not every victim of a gunshot wound is a criminal. It is important that a legal framework be put in place to avoid unnecessary loss of lives. Hospitals in the country would now treat victims of gunshot wounds “without any clearance from the police.” The lawmakers also passed the Animal Health and Husbandry Technologies (registration, etc) Bill, 2017 (HB. 320); Corporate Manslaughter Bill, 2017 (HB. 273); National Child Protection and Enforcement Agency Bill, 2017 (HB. 127) and National Intelligence Agency Pension Board Bill, 2017 (HB. 842). Others include Nigerian Academy of Science Bill, 2017 (HB. 917) and the National Postgraduate College of Medical Laboratory Science Bill (HB. 405), 2017. http://healthnewsng.com/nigerian-hospitals-no-longer-need-police-clearance-treat-gunshot-victims/#
