Decree 10, 1985 Under Fire-Akhere Obumese Seeks Court Interpretation
Who says medical doctors are the only medically qualified profession to be Chief Medical Directors of government hospitals? Doctors think so and has been using the decree to justify why they are the only professionals to be head of medical centers.

He has sought for the interpretation of the law at Benin Federal High Court where the case was first heard recently. It had since been adjourned till February 2012.
