FG Introduces Pain-relieving Drug For Cancer, HIV by waffle: 6:06pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
The Federal Government has introduced a pain-relieving drug for cancer, HIV and other related diseases in the country. The drug, simply called morphine, is expected to bring relief to patients suffering from the ailments. Consequently, it has directed that morphine, which had been in use in very low quantity in health facilities in the country, should be supplied by the Federal Government and the American Cancer Society in the next one year. The programme is being implemented under the auspices of Pain-Free Hospital Initiative. The Managing Director of Global Cancer Treatment, Dr. Megan O’Brien, who spoke on behalf of ACS during the unveiling of morphine on Thursday evening in Abuja, said the drug will reduce the scarcity of pain relievers. She said, “In the past, opium pain relievers were not widely used in Nigeria, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of Nigerians have suffered unnecessarily. Their unrelieved pain affected not only themselves; their suffering traumatized their families, their communities and the health workers who took care of them.” http://www.nigerianeye.com/2015/07/fg-introduces-pain-relieving-drug-for.html cc lalasticlala ishilove Afam4eva 5 Likes 3 Shares

Just two months in power and Nigeria is changing. Good health care, constant supply of power, all the corrupt people have gone underground. Nice one President Buhari. 73 Likes 3 Shares |

This is great news. Probably because of fear of abuse and dependence,morphine that can literary act as a "magic" pain reliever has been very difficult to access. Its benefits to pain sufferers cannot be overemphasized. Hope it doesn't find its way to the wrong hands and get adulterated. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

I hope we'll be able to handle it with maturity. I hope Morphine, a controlled drug will not become a drug that our youths will easily get over the counter in every 'chemists' and start abusing like they are doing Tramadol, Codeine and the likes 5 Likes |
