The Chief Executive Officer of the Edo State Health Regulatory and Monitoring Agency (EDOHERMA), Dr. Adesuwa Urhoghide, held a strategic regulatory alignment meeting with the Chairman of the Edo State Traditional Medicine Board (TMB), High Chief Abudu Ugbesia Godwin. The inter-agency session focused on clarifying jurisdictional mandates, co-engineering joint capacity-building courses for traditional birth attendants, and establishing a unified framework to monitor and regulate alternative medicine commercial advertisements state-wide.
The inter-agency partnership resolves historical administrative overlap and confusion regarding healthcare monitoring parameters within the state. While EDOHERMA maintains quality-assurance enforcement over orthodox clinical facilities, the sole legal authority to license alternative medicine practitioners rests with the TMB. By standardizing training for over 1,000 traditional birth attendants and launching local cultivation zones for high-value medicinal plant assets, the joint initiative upgrades grassroots health standards, checks unsafe practices, and protects consumers from deceptive medical marketing.
This structural inter-agency collaboration highlights the state executive’s commitment to internal policy coherence, public safety, and efficient health sector administration under the SHINE Agenda. By removing operational friction between parallel regulatory boards, the administration improves public resource allocation and data accuracy. Integrating validated local alternative medicine practices into the formal healthcare framework expands institutional tracking capacity, lowers maternal mortality rates at the grassroots level, and builds an inclusive public health system.
