The DG of NAFDAC, Dr Paul Orhii is a pharmacologist. The former DG of NAFDAC, Late Prof Dora Akunyili was also a pharmacologist and a toxicologist.

drered: . You forgot to add that she was a PHARMACIST and consultant pharmacologist?

nouveaux: NMA is a joke. A pharmacist is a business man, an adminatrator. The rigorous curriculum bestowed that on his. With administrative pharmacy and pharmacoeconomics, you can't go wrong with handing your managerial work to a pharmacist. If pharmacology is pharmacy, then pigs would fly. Guess a degree in pharmacy, law, public health, and management will allow the 'doctors' be at peace with a pharmacist being the Minister of Health or the CMD? Its okay, so far its on their side, but foul if otherwise. The heat is on!

nobilis:

You also forgot to add that Dr Paul Orhii is also a consultant pharmacologist.

drered: You're really slow doc..

& you're really pained.

Such hate won't get you anywhere dude. If you had channeled this energy you're using to hate on doctors into reading your books & passing jamb, who knows?

Maybe you'd have gotten into med school



But I doubt sha

Your case is obviously congenital

drered: Pharmacology is not what is in contention here... Pharmacy is. The constitution states that a person with a broad knowledge of food and drugs should be appointed as the DG of NFDAC. Naturally who is?. Pharmacology deals with drug action, interaction, indication and therapy. That's extensive enough? What about quality assurance and quality control a pharmacist is well versed in? Abi isn't that the whole idea behind the agency?

heykims:
They re only trained in carrying out plans documented by doctors, it is amazing they re now challenging d docotrs from whom plans they acquire their clinical knowledge..

nobilis:

Good. Pharmacy is different than pharmacology. We all agree.

But I now wonder what makes u feel that clinical pharmacy will make u better equipped to take better care of d patient than the doctor can.
Is clinical pharmacy the same thing as Medicine and Surgery?

drered: The idea is for all of you to work collectively in improving patient care and therapeutic outcome. Everyone will have the scope of their duties clearly stated to prevent encroaching. The pharmacist will advise you on drug therapy, measure drug serum concentrations, manage medication regimens in polypharmacy, give inputs to optimise use of medication, identify potential and adverse drug reactions, give suitable alternatives in contra indications. The pharmacist still ends up running this by you. Basically, you put heads together and at the end improved therapeutic outcome!. For those asking "why the need for consultant pharmacists?" Same reason you need specialists in different fields of medicine. Same reason there are nurse anaesthetist and nurse oncologists and a wide array of other specialist nurses or you think pharmacy is not diverse enough? People that say pharmacists can't be consultant and in essence mean pharmacists can't specialize are ignorant of how diverse pharmacy is.

thegeneral84:
Though I don't want to sound callous but the raw truth is " Pharmacists (or any other Allied Medical Profession) going on strike alone would have little or no impact", the main reason for their coming together to form JOHESU in the hope that their impact would be felt then. Your reason for staying together is the "collective hatred" for Doctors. There is no way a common hatred can successfully keep two or more persons together. You can't decide to marry a girl only because you both hate say "saloon cars". Sadly, That is what JOHESU is.

Samgreguc: The DG of the NAFDAC isn't a Pharmacist whereas, the ACT establishing NAFDAC states that the DG must have a good knowledge of Pharmacy,drug and food.
Many profession in the health sector gives a good knowledge of drugs and some food but, only Pharmaceutical Science gives you a good knowledge of Pharmacy. This simply means that only a Pharmacist is certified to hold that office but, suprisingly the office is currently being held by a Physician(DR. Paul Orhii). He has good knowledge of drugs but, not of Pharmacy.

This alone is a disrespect to the Pharmacists but, did the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria(PSN) embark on strike action for it? NO! They continued their good work in the industry because, they know what it will effect on our society.

Can that be obtainable from the Nigeria Medical Association(NMA)? A very good question.

NMA will rather "kill themselves than commit succide" if such happens to them, not even when the law states otherwise.

Samgreguc:
and if they do what's bad?
If u want to know if it has been done anywhere use the google.
.
Simple put, our NMA isn't doing well. Imagine what could have happened if the Pharmacist went on strike.
