Declare emergency in drug distribution, Lagos PSN tasks FG vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Worried by the chaotic drug distribution system in Nigeria, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, Lagos, State branch, has called on the Federal government to declare a state of emergency in the system.
Adeniran who chronicled the travails of the nation’s drug distribution system called for a complete review of the drug distribution channels. “The reality today is that we have made little or no progress in the quest to sanitise our distribution channels. If we decide to call a spade a spade, the Federal Government actually needs to call a state of emergency in the drug distribution bracket of our health sector to redress the unending cycle of unproductivity.”
“Patent Medicine Vending, which was meant to be a stop-gap-mechanism in service rendition to people in underserved areas has become a huge albatross on the neck of practicing Pharmacists because it has become an endless means of easy access to all categories of medicines.
