The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Edo State Branch, has expressed gratitude for the inclusive process that led to the passage of the Edo State Health Care Regulation and Monitoring Agency Bill (EDOHERMA).
 
According to the NMA, the landmark legislation promises to revolutionise the state’s healthcare landscape by regulating, monitoring, and enforcing standards across private health care facilities within the state, ensuring better health care delivery for all Edo residents.
 
Chairman, NMA, Edo State Branch, Dr. Eustace Oseghale, disclosed this in a statement signed and made available to newsmen in Benin.

The association recognised the pivotal role played by key individuals in the passage of the Edo State Health Care Regulation and Monitoring Agency Bill (EDOHERMA).
 
“We commend His Excellency Monday Okpebholo for prioritising health, the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Cyril Adams Oshiomhole, and pioneer Director General, Dr. Adesuwa Uroghide, for their efforts in improving private practice.
 
“We appreciate the Speaker and Edo State House of Assembly, especially Dr. Richard Edosa, for engaging stakeholders. We also thank the Association of Nigeria Private Medical Practitioners, led by Dr. Godfrey Imuetiyan for their collaboration.
 
“The Edo health system and patients in Edo State are the winners, deserving the best healthcare,” Oseghale said.
