The Federal Government has warned that anyone who assaults, threatens, intimidates or harasses health workers will face investigation and prosecution under existing laws where sufficient evidence exists. The warning came as the government ordered the immediate implementation of measures to protect health workers nationwide following repeated cases of assault, intimidation and harassment in health facilities. “Health workers dedicate their lives to caring for Nigerians and must be able to carry out their duties in an environment that is safe, secure and free from violence, intimidation or harassment. Pate directed federal tertiary health institutions to strengthen internal security, establish Violence Prevention Teams, improve surveillance and access control, and tighten security in emergency units and other sensitive areas. The FG stressed that no grievance or official assignment justifies violence against health workers or interference with healthcare delivery, warning that offenders would be held accountable under the law.
