COVID-19: Community health practitioners induct 1,300 workers

The Community Health Practitioners Registrations Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN) yesterday inducted 1,300 health practitioners to help other medical workers fighting COVID-19 pandemic.

The induction, according to the Acting Registrar of board, Alh Ajimi Kaka Mustapha, was to ensure that the professionals were certified to thoroughly man the primary health care centres.

Speaking at the induction ceremony which was held in Abuja, Mustapha urged the inductees “to be good ambassadors of the profession and remain persons of impeccable character” by projecting the board image through their dealings with the general public.
