Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), on Wednesday made a case for immediate treatment of accident and gunshot victims without recourse to police reports.<\/p>\n

The FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman (EVC), Mr Babatunde Irukera, advanced cogent reasons why victims of gunshot and accident should be given emergency treatment before ascertaining the circumstances surrounding the cause of the injury.<\/p>\n

Irukera spoke at a training for doctors and nurses in Kano with the theme \u2018Strengthening Patient-Centered Care: A Health Care Provider Training\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWhen you have an accident or gunshot victims or patients, our position is that you have to treat first before determining whether it is an accident or a case of crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because one has to be alive first before any other thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Represented by the Commission\u2019s Executive Commissioner, Operations, Dr Adamu Abdullahi, the executive vice chairman insisted that accident and gunshot victims have the right to be treated first, before finding out the cause of their injuries, pointing out that \u201csaving human lives remain paramount above other considerations.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further said that the idea behind the training was to intimate doctors and nurses on the nitty-gritty of the<\/p>\n

Patients\u2019 Bill of Rights (PBoR) for them to acknowledge their obligations and the rights of patients while carrying out their duties.<\/p>\n

He further said that trained doctors and nurses should train others on the need to abide by and upheld the PBoR, saying \u201ctoday, we have to listen to the legal perspective and how health practitioners can apply the PBoR\u201d.<\/p>\n
