The Community Health Practitioners Registration Board of Nigeria (CHPRBN) has suspended all accreditation exercises effective immediately to review and strengthen its accreditation framework, operational procedures, and quality assurance mechanisms. This move aims to enhance compliance, transparency, and operational integrity in community health training institutions.
Key Points:
- Exemptions: Institutions already scheduled for Resource Accreditation Visits will proceed as planned.
- Continued Activities: Re-Accreditation Exercises, Spot-Checking Visits, and Regulatory Supervision and Monitoring will continue uninterrupted.
- Objective: The suspension is a regulatory safeguard to protect the integrity of the accreditation process and ensure uniformity in standards.
- Expected Outcome: The review will strengthen public confidence in the quality of community health training nationwide.
The CHPRBN will provide further updates, including revised timelines and improved accreditation protocols, in due course. This development is part of the Board's efforts to regulate training standards, enforce compliance, and ensure the competence of institutions involved in educating Community Health Practitioners in Nigeria.
