The Health Facilities Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) has opened a new office in Ajah, Lagos State, as part of efforts to bring its regulatory services closer to residents, healthcare providers and other stakeholders.
The initiative aligns with the Lagos State Government’s Ease of Doing Business policy by improving access to government services and making regulatory processes more convenient for healthcare operators and the public.
Located at No. 1, Shop B9, Fountain Place, Addo Road, Ajah, the new office will serve residents, healthcare facilities and other stakeholders in Ajah and neighbouring communities.
Speaking on the development, HEFAMAA Executive Secretary, Dr. Victoria Egunjobi, said the establishment of the office was aimed at making the Agency’s services more accessible and convenient.
“The establishment of the Ajah office is part of our commitment to bringing HEFAMAA closer to the people and making it easier for our clients to access the services of the Agency,” she said.
The office will provide a range of services, including regulatory guidance, registration, accreditation, monitoring and other healthcare regulatory support. It is also expected to strengthen communication with stakeholders, facilitate the timely resolution of concerns and promote compliance with healthcare standards.
Reaffirming HEFAMAA’s commitment to ensuring that healthcare facilities across Lagos State provide safe, quality and effective services, Egunjobi urged residents to patronise only registered and accredited health facilities.
She also encouraged members of the public to report suspected cases of quackery, unregistered healthcare practice and other unethical conduct to the appropriate authorities.
