 Treat Gunshot Victims First — No Police Report Needed!


The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) have reminded hospitals nationwide that gunshot victims must be treated immediately, with or without a police report.


The warning follows fresh cases of hospitals refusing emergency care — a violation of the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Wounds Act (2017).


📜 What the law says:

✅ All hospitals — public or private — must treat gunshot victims without delay.

🚫 No police report is required before treatment.

⚖️ Failure to comply can lead to 5 years in prison, a ₦500,000 fine, or both for any person or authority responsible for negligence.


🩸 A life saved is a life that can tell the story.
