The Lagos State government has shut down Vedic Lifecare Hospital for employing foreigners not licensed to practice in Nigeria.
The Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) shut down the Lekki facility for engaging three foreign doctors and one nurse with unverified certificates.
The foreigners were also not licensed by any professional body in the country, according to the agency’s Executive Secretary, Dr Abiola Idowu, on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
She said the closure of the facility will not affect the in-patients already admitted.
