Prominent Nigerian newspapers — The Punch, Nigerian Tribune, and The Nation — have spotlighted the organization’s campaign, reinforcing public awareness about the dangers posed by unlicensed individuals practicing as nurses.
In an article titled “Dealing with Quackery in Nursing”, The Punch discusses the alarming rise of unqualified practitioners and how the NCI, in collaboration with regulatory bodies, is working to ensure only properly trained and certified nurses operate within the healthcare system. The report emphasizes the risk these impostors pose to patient safety and the broader healthcare infrastructure.
Similarly, Nigerian Tribune reports on the organization’s outreach efforts in “NGO Intensifies Campaign Against Quackery in Nursing”, detailing recent awareness programs, workshops, and policy advocacy. The article showcases how NCI is engaging communities and stakeholders to identify and eliminate fake practitioners while also promoting the professionalism and ethics of legitimate nurses.
The Nation echoes these concerns in a piece titled “Addressing Quackery Crucial for Preserving Integrity of Nursing Profession”, where it underscores the long-term impact of unchecked quackery on healthcare delivery in Nigeria. The article commends NCI’s proactive stance and highlights the need for stronger enforcement and public education.
Through these media features, the Nursing Campaign Initiative continues to raise awareness and galvanize national support for the protection of nursing standards. The coverage reflects growing recognition of the urgent need to cleanse the profession of impostors and restore public trust in nursing as a cornerstone of quality healthcare in Nigeria.
