He cautioned them not to delegate their duty to health attendants because of the menace of quacks and fake nurses in society. He stated that when some of these attendants exit the system they become the quackS of the profession because of the little experience they have acquired.
Awards of Excellence was also presented to the Medical Director and the Apex Nurse of the hospital, Mrs. Oluwatosin Adekoya by the association in appreciation of their contributions to quality health care delivery in the hospital.
