NMA IS PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION NOT REGULATORY AGENCY NYSC GET IT RIGTH



Just like Pharmaceutiacal Society of Nigeria(PSN), Association of Medical Laboratory Scientist of Nigeria (AMLSN)etc, so also NMA.I just read it at the twitter handle of National Youth Service Corps that each Medical certificate /fitness most be accompanied with NMA stamp....."just to curb quackery ....."


My questions to NYSC are as follows

I. Where can I get NMA hospital NOT Federal, State or Any other Primary health care in this country?


II. Is the NMA responsible for the medical check up OR the hospitals?


Iii. Is the stamp from respective hospital managenents not enough ?


Iv. What really NMA contributes in medical report/fitness



If we really know the answers to above questions I wonder if NYSC is not promoting Quackery rather than trying to Checkmate it because out of morthern 10 different investigations, non of them is been done by NMA member rather other medical professionals



All tests eg HbsAg, Genotype, Urine/stool analysis, Hb, PCV, HCV, TB etc are done and signed by qualified Medical Laboratory Scientists


X-rays and visual test are carried out by Radiographers and Optometrist respectively...

So in these case, What NYSC are they really telling us, is this not promoting quackery by accepting a signed document from the person who is not qualified and liecensed to carried it out?

Similarly, it will be a rediculous if a memeber of particular profession can sign a the document, it means that there will be no authentication, and the might be deciding to accept or demand something and the aim is totally defeated.


THE WAY FORWARD

1.That Hospital Managements should be and the only way to get medical report/fitness as it comprises the input of different Health professionals


2. If any body most stamp it should be regulatory body Eg Medical laboratory Science Council of Nigeria(MLSCN) Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) etc not professional association who are not to any government parataltas.





3.If any Professional Association has to Sign, it should be of equal proportion by g what your respective profession contribute




Finally I hope that the Government, NYSC and Other respective profession involve will figure out a workable solution to avoid any further rediculous way of fighting quackery.

NYSC.....take time!!!!

This is called separating men from boys!

NYSC is now nothing but a joke

In my days, $hit was real

Is that so ?

Ok. But this was the same stance NBA used to take. But When Buhari went after corrupt judges, they started shouting reminding the whole world that they have judicial that regulate and sanction erring judicial .

This table NYSC is shaking....

NYSC GOT CONFUSED

It's just one of the way to make things more difficult for people ...

I swear I hate Nigeria,and the people making things difficult for us.... Imagine a course they do in Ghana for 6 months, Naija own na 9months.. Same course....

Here we take everything to serious without any reasonable benefits...

goan and get Oluwole signature

This shitcrap can only happen in a lawless government like of the APC.Otherwise when have it become the responsibility of the NMA-an association to be issuing health fitness certificate.

Futile Scheme. .should be scrap off!!

That's what you get when square pegs are dropped in round holes.

hahah! the NYSC DG didnt know... and the man claimed he's educated

he must be one of them.

Your logic in that test are not being done by doctors is flawed. Who declares an individual fit, a doctor or other allied medical workers. The purpose of this is to curb quackery and proliferation of many fake health reports that our corrupt system has allowed. An hospital gate man would get you a medical health report so far he has the hospital letter head and impersonate a doctor or a non existing doctor and these many lab people do. So, what NMA is doing is to get a personalised stamp that can be traced to every doctor. This is to make it easy to hold someone that is the doctor responsible for these reports which only them are licensed to issue.

Am I the only person who doesn't make any sense of this write up?

Honestly I agree but on a more second thought, integration between tribes was the ideology by Gowon only that dumb heads are there that are only concerned about money.

No single innovation. During my three weeks orientation, it was two computer programmers that developed the software for posting corp to various LGs based on demand made by schools, hospitals, companies et al.

I read it's for medical students alone

Senseless corp

RIP English

If the medical certificate of fitness was free, pcms won't patronize oluwole and there would be no cause for an NMA stamp but trust Nigeria to make things difficult

Too bad...This is Our Nigeria. .if only job employers and institutions don't demand for the certificate before considering whether to take one or not.. apart from the integration of cultures and ideologies aspect!! To me issa waste of one precious year .

You have said it all.

Thanks. I guess the poster is a lab person hence, his position. We should look beyond inter professional rivalry and the good of healthcare in this country. This is a welcome development if you ask me.

NYSC does not have a verified Twitter . That that published the instruction is NOT the official nysc . It's more of a parody . There are several nysc s on twitter but @officialnysc is the least authentic. So don't worry people, you dont have problems.

Depends on the company. Some companies don't.

There is nothing good about what NYSC posted. It enhances quackery instead of eliminating it.

Lawyers face a similar issue with the N.B.A. I'm guessing the difference between law and medicine is that in law, hip of the N.B.A is mandatory.

Nonsense..



@zubby4567

All these tests you talked about can be performed by lab scientists, radiographers ,agreed but unfortunately for you, NYSC didn't ask for a lab result .They asked for a fitness report which only a doctor can issue

Deal with your hatred for doctors.


There's this unexplainable hatred for doctors by the typical lab scientist. Surprisingly med lab science is the newest allied medical profession in Nigeria (the late 90s) . The older professionals eg pharmacists and nurses don't have much problems with doctors.
