Views: Visits 8 Nemesis finally caught up with a clinical assistant who was recently sentenced to two-year imprisonment for committing illegal abortion at Gwarzo Local Government area of Kano State. The convict, a staff of Kano State primary healthcare management board, whose identity was concealed under his official registration number KNLG 04608, was said to have perpetrated the ethical misconduct at Gwarzo primary health care. Besides, the convict and three other health workers, who committed the same capital offences, have been dismissed from the Kano State civil service. The Guardian gathered that luck ran out on the convict, a female attendant who was said to have assumed the professional clinical job, when the abortion process became complicated.
He said the decision was taken following the recommendations by the Governing Board and the Disciplinary Advisory Committee constituted to investigate cases affecting some staff.
