The state’s commissioner for health, Dr. Dayo
Adeyanju said this yesterday in the capital, Akure during the launch of a
programme called ‘Working Together for Health’ – to coordinate the
activities of health workers across the state.
“Government was greatly disturbed by the advertisement of death
accessories to those who need encouragement to survive,” he said. “The
activities of shroud and coffin sellers within the vicinity of the state
Specialists Hospitals in Akure and other health facilities across the
state are worrisome.”
“The activities of these merchants of accessories
of death is already constituting a nuisance within our hospital
environment. It is highly disturbing to see advertisements of coffins at
our hospital gates.
“What message are the promoters of these businesses
sending to the sick who should be in the right frame of mind to receive
treatment.
“You should not be seen promoting death where we are encouraging and sustaining life.”
According to him, this bill will soon be sent to the House of Assembly.
