AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoHealthcare Regulation: Edo State Healthcare Regulation and Monitoring Agency (EDOHERMA) shut Jess Royal Hospital in Benin City after finding it operated for over 10 years without statutory registration—neither registered with the Edo Ministry of Health nor with EDOHERMA—following a monitoring visit at an orphanage in the same building; the inspection flagged poor infection prevention and control, deteriorated equipment, and other facility deficiencies. Public Health Innovation: A new review suggests game-based telerehabilitation could help multiple sclerosis patients stick with physical therapy at home, with the most consistent gains in balance and postural control, while benefits for fatigue and cognition remain less clear. Wildlife & Community Health: The Nigerian Conservation Foundation warned that illegal trade in vulture parts is accelerating vulture declines and urged stronger enforcement and “vulture safe zones,” noting Nigeria and Benin as key cross-border hubs for trafficking. Power & Health Access: Edo State expressed concern after the shutdown of Ossiomo Power Plant, saying it previously supplied about 11MW to government offices and residents, forcing reconnections to BEDC and raising risks for businesses and health-related services. Safety & Crime: Edo police arrested nine suspects over alleged killing of minors, a community chief and a driver, as part of wider operations that also rescued a kidnapped woman and her three children.
