According to News report from Daily Post, the Kwara State government has pledged to take action against health workers involved in professional misconduct within the state's health sector.
This announcement was made by the State Commissioner for Health, Dr Amina Ahmed El-Imam, in response to the reported missing umbilical cord and placenta of a newborn baby at a cottage hospital in Iloffa, Oke-Ero Local Government Area.
In a conversation with journalists, Dr El-Imam emphasised that the government will not tolerate professional misconduct among health workers.

The Commissioner disclosed that “the state ministry of health has commenced its internal investigation into the matter and will ensure that justice is done at the end of both processes.”
