A concerned group known as Ondo State Elegant Youth Forum (OSEYF), has alleged the Acting Chief Medical Director of the Ondo State University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, UNIMEDTH, Dr. Michael Olumide Gbala for diverting patients from government hospital to his private hospital in Ondo town, calling for his immediate removal by the Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.
In a release made available to newsmen in Akure, the capital city of Ondo State, the President of the group, Comrade Julius Awayin Asonja (Sir Special), lamented several gross misconducts and Illegalities alledgedly paperated by Dr. Gbala, calling on Governor Aiyedatiwa to investigate his office.
Comrade Asonja alleged that Dr. Gbala is operating a full-fledged private hospital with the name – “Precious Specialist Clinic and Fertility Center”, located at No. 20, Road 3, Yemisi Akintewe street, Laje Road, Ondo City along UNIMED hospital road.
“Following the medical regulations and laws, a government employed Doctor is not permitted to own a private hospital let alone admitting patients in his private hospital.



However, our investigation revealed that Dr. Gbala is running the following services in his private hospital, medical and surgical operation, paediatric, Dental, antenatal Service, fertility treatment, Laboratory, Colposcopy, Ultrasound scan, Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy, Egg etc to the detriment of government hospital where he’s acting as CMD.”
“As a government employed Doctor, you are only permitted to have a consulting clinic not a full-fledged hospital.”
It would be recalled that same Dr. Gbala was alleged by Secret Reporters on July 28th, 2020 for training fake nurses in his private clinic in a publication titled: “Health/Doctor’s Mess: Chairman Medical Adversory Committee UMSTH, Michael Gbala trains fake Nurses in Private Clinic at Ondo.”
Secret Reporters alleged that Dr. Gbala’s illegal actions came to fore when one of his staff, Abayomi Funke uploaded a post of pictures of 3 females dressed as Nurses who were presented with certificates by Dr. Michael Gbala.
In the same manner, Dr. Gbala posted on his facebook page on July 27th, 2020, with this caption “it was a celebration galore in Precious Specialist Hospital yesterday as some of our students graduated, you shall use the certificate for something better in Jesus name, Congratulations once again”
“Considering all the facts above, we are calling on the Governor to investigate the activities of the CMD and ensure justice is done so that it will serve as a deterrent to others Doctors who using their selfish interest to destroy government owned Hospitals.
However, if the illegal perpetrations of Dr Gbala are not being investigated and curtailed as a matter of urgency, the it’s obvious that the progress of UNIMED hospital will be threatened and eventually drag the integrity of Governor Aiyedatiwa-led administration into the mud.”
Finally, our group at Ondo State Elegant Youth Forum wishes to appreciate Governor Aiyedatiwa for his quick intervention and prompt approach to restore life back to the general hospital in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government area of Ondo State after our group had raised alarm about the deplorable conditions of the hospital. Definitely, we shall continue to advocate for better Ondo State, especially in the health sector for the proper healthiness of the good people of Ondo State.”
