"EBENEZER AYENI: THE NEED TO PROSECUTE THE HOSPITAL AND STAFFS FOR THE VIOLATION OF COMPULSORY TREATMENT AND CARE FOR VICTIMS OF GUNSHOT ACT, 2017.
"This morning, I woke up to read a news as regard the manner at which a promising Nigerian died of gun shot injuries his sustains when armed robbers invaded his house on Thursday because he was not attended to by the hospitals he was taken to for treatment due to his inability to produce Police Report at such critical time.
"On seeing this, I felt bad on why continue we continue to be a victim of our very own circumstance. The rate at which Medical doctors or practitioners toil with lives of Nigerians is disturbing as we keep on losing dreams and potentials to the grave due to mostly medical negligence.
"The issue of gunshot injury victims has been settled by way of legislation in which the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017 was enacted into law to address the issue as alot of people had died mostly because they were left unattended to by the Hospitals they were taken to at that critical time.
With the passing of this Act, it has become a must to treat victims of gunshots without police report and even attached penalty to any violators the Act.
"By a way of reference, section 1 provides that "Every hospital is to receive and treat victims of gunshot wounds with or without police clearance and/or payment of an initial deposit, but are duty bound to report to the nearest police station within two hours of commencing treatment on the victim"
"For the violation, it provides that "Any authority or person,who se omissionresults in the unnecessary death of a gunshot victim shall be liable to imprisonment for 5 years or a finein the sum of N 500,000.00 or both.
"Any person who commits an offence under the Act especially, when the offence does not lead to death of victim but led to substantial physical, mental, emotional and psychological damage, shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not more than 15 years and not less than 5 years without the option of fine".
"Now, our government needs to rise up and enforce this law. The law is useless without enforcement and the rate at which hospital toil the lives of Nigerians is getting alarming and calls for immediate intervention.
