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.
