 EDOHERMA SHUTS DOWN JESS ROYAL HOSPITAL OVER ALLEGED REGISTRATION VIOLATION


CLARIFIES THAT ANPMP MEMBERSHIP DOES NOT AUTHORISE HEALTH FACILITY OPERATIONS

The Edo State Healthcare Regulation and Monitoring Agency (EDOHERMA) has directed the Jess Royal Hospital to immediately cease all healthcare operations following alleged discovery that the Health Facility had operated for over 10 years without registration with the Edo State Ministry of Health and was not also registered with EDOHERMA.

According to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EDOHERMA, Dr. Adesuwa Urhoghide-Edigin, the initial discovery was made during the Agency's monitoring exercise at an orphanage located within the same building, where the CEO engaged the Hospital owner, who informed her that the Facility was not registered with the Edo State Government but that he was a member of the Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP). The CEO immediately clarified that membership of ANPMP does not constitute statutory registration and does not authorise anyone to operate a health facility in Edo State.

 Subsequently, the CEO directed the EDOHERMA Medical Services Department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Hospital. During the follow-up inspection led by the Agency's Director of Medical Services, Dr. Peter Evbuomwan, the Hospital Operator explained that health challenges had prevented him from completing the registration of the Facility. The EDOHERMA Team, however, noted that since the hospital had remained operational despite the stated health challenges, and that the Facility is required by Law to fulfil the statutory registration necessary for its continued operation.

Beyond the registration violation, the inspection revealed alleged significant health-standard deficiencies requiring urgent corrective action, including poor Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) practices, visible cobwebs on ceilings and walls, rusted and deteriorated war
