 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

HEFAMAA SHUTS VEDIC HOSPITAL FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATORY STANDARDS.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

… Set to Introduce Policy to Regulate Foreign-Based Transient Medical Doctors


The Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) has shut Vedic Lifecare Hospital for engaging unlicensed expatriates.


The Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr. Abiola Idowu, who made the disclosure in her office in Alausa, Ikeja, explained that the hospital located at Plot 6, Olabanji Olajide Street, Lekki, was sealed for engaging expatriate staff who have not been certified to practice locally.


“The facility was shut down for engaging three foreign doctors and a nurse with unverified certificates and without licenses from any professional body”, she explained.


She, however, stated that the closure of the hospital does not affect the in-patients already admitted, stressing that the Agency is aware that some facilities are engaging Foreign-Based Transient Medical Doctors (FBTMD) who come into the State, stay for a period of time to provide medical care to patients and perform medical procedures before returning to their respective countries.


Also speaking, the Chairman, HEFAMAA Governing Board, Dr. Yemisi Solanke-Koya, noted that the practice raises consequential concerns regarding the regulatory oversight of healthcare in the State.


The concerns, according to her, focus on whether the facilities where the FBTMDs provide medical care are registered with and meet the standards required by HEFAMAA; whether the FBTMDs themselves possess the requisite credentials and experience required to practice the designated specialities they travel to the State for and whether the provisions made for the realm of continuity of care of the patients when the FBTMDs leave the State meet the standard of care.


The Chairman warned that hospitals in Lagos should desist from using foreigners whose certificates and licenses have not been verified by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN).


She, however, indicated that the Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, has directed the Agency to implement an FBTMD policy that will ensure that FBTMDs are approved by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria to practice medicine in the country, adding that such approval must be submitted and duly registered with HEFAMAA prior to commencement of medical practice in the State to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of Lagosians and hold the facilities engaging FTDMBs accountable.
