The Government of Liberia, through the Liberia Medical and Dental Council, has on today, September 18^th, issued provisional licenses to nine imaging and laboratory specialists at the Jahmale Medical Solutions in Paynesville.

The Council had previously disqualified the affected persons for engaging in unauthorized medical practice in Liberia, in line with subchapter E, section 61.19 of the Act creating the Council.

The affected persons include Samuel Lartey, Radiographer (Ghanaian); Stephen G. Apkozah, Radiographer (Ghanaian); Richard Asamoah, Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (Ghanaian); Adrian S. Jackson, Radiographer (Liberian); Jackson K. Mullah, Radiographer (Liberian); Abraham B. Merriam, Radiographer (Liberian); Lovetta W. Flomo, Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (Liberian) and Decontee Y. Farley-Korgboi, Diagnostic Medical Sonographer (Liberian).

The individuals were discovered earlier this month during a routine spot check of Jahmale Medical Solutions, and the LMDC took immediate action.

Following series of engagements between Jahmale and the Health Authorities, and their assurances to be compliant with the relevant laws, the LMDC lifted the ban and issued one-month provisional licenses to the affected individuals.

During this period, the individuals will undergo the requisite screening, interview, and testing procedures required to engage in medical practice in Liberia.

LMDC warns individuals engaged in unauthorized medical practice to desist immediately as the Government will not hesitate to enforce the relevant laws of Liberia to protect its citizens and residents.
