Dr. Olorunimbe Mamora, Minister of State for Health, has said that the Federal Government will not allow other countries to turn Nigeria into dumping ground for foreign drugs, hence its commitment to home grown drugs.
Mamora made the assertion on Wednesday at the 5th Nigeria Pharm Manufacturers Expo 2019- an international exhibition on COMPLETE pharma manufacturing, in Lagos.“We are not just talking about drugs sufficiency, we are talking about homegrown; that is looking at what we have on the ground to get the best out of the system and this is very important.“Oftentimes, in some of our hospitals, you hear out of stock. We need to look at what is available to us and make the best out of it.
The minister said that he had seen a lot of technologies that would aid the attainment of the nation’s dream. On the nation’s preparation about outbreak of diseases like Ebola, the minister assured Nigerians that relevant agencies of government were doing the needful in terms of surveillance, monitoring and proactiveness.
