LAGOS State House of Assembly, LSHA, has called on doctors and other health workers in the state to desist from using derogatory and improper languages on patients as it negates the service charter of the state Ministry of Health.
LSHA implored the health workers to pay proper attention to patients seeking medical attentions because without them, there will not be hospitals.
Speaking through the Chairman, House committee on health, Suru Avoseh, during the committee’s oversight function to Orile-Agege General Hospital, the lawmakers lamented that some doctors in state hospitals were in the habit of using derogatory languages on patients seeking treatment.
This according to him, negated the “Service Charter of the state government which is geared towards efficient service delivery to the people.”
He said the purpose of the visit was to “know how medical personnel discharge their civic responsibilities particularly to the patients.”
