Hospitals defy law, not treating gunshot victimes

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Pate, on Tuesday, expressed concern over the non-compliance to the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017 in most medical facilities.

Pate said gunshot victims come under medical emergencies that require urgent attention to save the life of the patient or victim.

The Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act, 2017 signed into law by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
