NAFDAC has always been working. It will help us a great deal in this country if we build institutions that can sustain themselves rather than personalities that will not be their forever. Dora worked and Paul Orhii is working too.

this is good

How many people even use this technology in Nigeria? We've gotten so used to "go to pharmacy. Buy drugs. Drink up drugs. END".

Tosusa: National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has commenced enforcement of the deadline for implementation of the Mobile Authentication Service, MAS by pharmaceutical companies nationwide.

The enforcement operation which started last week in Abuja under the auspices of the Pharmacovigilance and Post Marketing Surveillance Directorate of NAFDAC was geared towards mopping up from circulation all anti-malarial and anti-biotic medicines that do not carry on their labels, the MAS scratch and text authentication codes introduced in 2010 by the Agency to save consumers from the menace of fake drugs.

Director-General of NAFDAC, Dr. Paul Orhii who is currently celebrated worldwide for introducing multi-layered anti-counterfeiting technology has vowed that there was no going back on enforcement of compliance with the MAS deadline which has previously been shifted twice in the last three years due to plea for more time by segment of the pharmaceutical industry.

Orhii said NAFDAC has the full support of the President and Honourable Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu to enforce implementation of the service in a bid to eradicate counterfeit drugs in the country.

He disclosed that firm instruction has been given to all NAFDAC offices across the country to go round various pharmaceutical outlets to enforce compliance as deadline is irreversible and sacrosanct.

”The scratch and text service (MAS) has put the power of detecting counterfeit drugs in the hands of over 100 million mobile phone users in the country,” he added.

Orhii stated that the international community is full of commendation for Nigeria for pioneering the use of cutting-edge technologies in combating counterfeit medicines.

Can this be monitored in Nigeria where all systems are porouse, s*ame...

maasoap: It screamed fake but you just decided it has to be genuine/original? May God help us from these educated illiterates.

Yo are a fool. Go back and read my post again. Dunce

The drugs that even have the MAS code, when you send the code it will still not give you information whether the the drug is genuine or not.
NAFDAC still has a long way to go in curbing/eradicating counterfeit pharmaceutical products in Nigeria.

WHICH TECHNIQUE

thewarrior72: The should rather implement the ban W.H.O put on the treatment of malaria cases with artemether

W.H.O banned arthemeter used alone. The current treatment of malaria is ACT (artemisinin-based combination therapy) which includes arthemeter/artesunate/dihydroartemisin PLUS A SECOND DRUG. I'm pointing this out cos arthemeter is still being used but in combination with another drug like lumefantrine, etc.
