Just hang him, we do not know how many people he has killed by giving wrong treatment.
Inu tamutulusani mmesa anazilemba yekha ntchito chifukwa cha kukonderana kulembana pa chibale
in defence he should state he was moved with passion seeing that medical personnel are overwhelmed. even jesus never had a medical qualification but healed because of passion.
A very dangerous person
SHOULD WE SAY THE HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR IS FAKE??I MEAN THE ADMIN HAS FAILED.PLS CHECK THEIR PAPERS ALSO
uyu akufunika 28 yrs IHL komanso akazadwala mtsogolomu shud b banned frm accessing health services in Malawi. Foolish fool!!
It baffles the mind to imagine that someone unknown to nursing staff on a ward can be allowed to just walk into a ward and start seeing patients. Even students are expected to pay courtesy call to the nurse on duty to announce their presence. How come the incidence of these fake “doctors” seem to be getting common and detected rather poorly by those on the wards? Someone needs to introduce some common sense checks and balances at our health institutions and give the health care worker profession some much needed decency
No mercy 4 them,ndafiti amenewo,they want to kill lives of innocent people.
