The Cross River State House of Assembly has successfully passed a bill aimed at eradicating quackery in the health sector. Sponsored by Deputy Leader Rt. Hon. Davies Etta, the legislation, titled 'A Law to Prohibit Quackery Practices in the Health Sector of Cross River State,' aims to protect residents from unqualified practitioners and enhance healthcare delivery. The bill received unanimous support after a thorough review by the House Committee on Health, Nutrition, and Food Security, which highlighted the dangers posed by fake medical practitioners. The law expands the original proposal to include more comprehensive regulations and enforcement measures. Lawmakers praised the bill as timely, citing recent incidents of unlicensed medical practices. The Speaker, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem, commended the effort as a significant achievement of the 10th Assembly. The bill will now be sent to Governor Bassey Otu for assent.
