The Owalare of Ilare-Ijesa, His Royal Majesty, Oba Emmanuel Adejoro Otebolaku has charged the health workers in Nigeria to be more careful with the lives of their patients.
The Owalare stated this on Monday in his royal message delivered at the annual general meeting and scientific conference of the Association of Resident Doctors, LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State.
In his royal message, Oba Otebolaku who maintained that life is a gift of God, charged medical Doctors to deal with people with the fear and spirit of God, who does all things.
The Owalare who was accompanied by the High Chief Olajubu also urged doctors and other health workers to uphold the moral and civil regulations that guide their profession instead of seeing patients as inferior to them.
According to the Monarch, doctors must be able to maintain practicable interaction and good relationship with their parents.
“In your discharge of duties, I urge you to uphold the moral and civil regulations that guide your profession, respect the dignity of your patients and do not see them as inferior human beings in your interaction with them” Oba Otebolaku stated.
He also charged them to revive the hope of existence in people rather than denigrating them in the line of their duties. *Maintain good doctor-and-patient relationship, counsel them and let them see hope in their existence even in their sickness”, he emphasized.
The Monarch who appreciated Governor Gboyega Oyetola for establishing Osun Health Insurance Scheme (OHIS) for civil servants and the general public in Osun State, prayed that no life will be lost as the year 2020 is running to an end.
“It is a good initiative to improve health care delivery in the state, but my advice for Government is that they should be more careful in the accreditation of hospitals that are used for the scheme, only hospitals with good facilities and personnel should be approved for the scheme. Above all, I commend the State Governor Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola for introduction of the scheme and I call on people to make use of the opportunity”, Oba Otebolaku added.
