has disowned a medical report, which was purported to be the result of
tests for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate,
Muhammadu Buhari.
The report was said have emanated from the Ahmadu Bello University
Teaching Hospital Zaria, and purportedly undersigned by three staff.
AMLSN said its investigations at ABUTH indicates that the "report
forms on which the results were written [were] fake and at variance
with that of the teaching hospital".
In a statement, the Public Relations Officer of AMLSN, Adeyeye Tam,
said the three "medical doctors", who signed the report forms - Dr
Balla Mohammed, Dr Gamji A and Dr Bello Yau - are not on the payroll
of the ABUTH.
"ABUTH Zaria management has since reported that there are no such
'medical doctors' on their staff list. So, efforts must be made to
expose the fake medical doctors", Tam said.
The association also noted that physicians or doctors do not have a
professional duty or routine for specialized lab tests on patients'
samples, and "Neither is it their duty to approve or sign such results
as seen on the report forms. This is the professional responsibility
of Medical Laboratory Scientists registered and licensed to perform
such professional duties", the statement added.
It concluded that the report "must have emanated from quacks or
persons with hidden agenda best known to them".
The association also warned the public to beware of fake medical
doctors and others parading as professionals.
