Medical expert, Dr Olumide Akadiri, on
Wednesday warned pregnant women against patronising quacks.
He told
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Okitipupa, Ondo State, that majority of the
deaths involving pregnant women were caused by patronage of quacks
.
Akadiri, who is also the Chief Medical Director of the State
Specialist Hospital in Okitipupa, said that the best place to seek proper
medical attention was a government hospital.
“In this civilised age, I am still surprised that pregnant women
still patronise quack doctors instead of going to the hospital.
“Most of
the death of pregnant women recorded is caused by these quacks because they are
not qualified.
“I urge our pregnant women to register for their antenatal in
the hospital to get proper medical advice to safeguard their health,” Akadiri
said.
He said
government hospitals had been equipped with sophisticated machines and
experienced doctors to attend to patients at affordable cost.
