PEPFAR has been withdrawing its support gradually since 2013. Most tests that were done free before are now paid for by patients. The staff are owed.

eunisam:
GEJ is working!

Creamish:
Lolz...my fellow elders .. Mukina2 is quite old tho.. March 2006 is not beans too..

Sarahn:
So...
Change the game-players in a rotten game?
Then change the rules maybe?

You don't get it do you?
The whole system is messed up.

Buhari or GEJ,
It matters the fu©k not.
It changes nothing.


It is up to every Nigerian to save themself.
If you believe in a change of Government,

Then, you, by far, are the most naive person I have seen.

History has shown time and time again that governments are the worst.
From waging wars to determining the school your unborn child will go to.

Democracy my a$$.
Hope for change?

Hope is delusional and unrealistic.

Wake up.
You have been asleeo too long.

phantom:
NMA was present. NARD was missing.

why is JOHESU crying foul over a report that was churned out by a NEUTRAL commiteewhy?
they are already accussing NMA of influencing the report. i guess we should also relax and take their word for it abeg!!

phantom:
for those who dont know,the federal govt set up a comitee headed by yayale ahmed to address once and for all,the bickering in the health sector.
JOHESU and its constituent associations were fully involved in meetings with that comitee. infact a few MEDICAL BODIES/ASSOCIATIONS WERE MISSING.

either the NMA or NARD was absent in meetings with this same commitee and infact many doctors all over the federation expressed their dissatisfaction on their facebook wall with that.
Johesu tried anyway to influence the final outcome of the commitees report.

now my question is...why are they dissatisfied with the 50 recommendations of the commitee?
could it be that the commitee actually did its homework,comparing the health sector here with the sector in other countries??

What exactly does JOHESU WANT?? do they really think in their wildest dreams that they will be allowed to lord it over doctors?

saintandsinnerz:
I guess you are still a young boy to believe that PDP will lose election. Look I'm no supporter of GEJ or Buhari, but don't be deceived, PDP is going to win the election either by hook or crook. It's nearly impossible to defeat a sitting president in Nigeria for obvious reason. Don't be deceived by the noises in the social media about APC winning the election, it will not happen. You guys are here making noise why PDP has finalized plans on how to continue in power.

symbianDON:
I strongly advised JOHESU to explore other means of resolving issues with government. people are dying daily due to this strike and as it stands now, government is clearly not interested in them.

imsuboi:
oga keep quiet. All these ones you're blabbing is thrash.

00kris88:
Hello everyone.
I'm from Unijos Pharm. School.
Should I say 300 or 400L now? I don't know.

Well, for my challenges in Pharm school, it hasn't really been reading and passing exams/tests whatever.
That's not to say its been easy though. Failing PCG201 made me feel very bad, but knowing it was due to my negligence and carelessness made it a bit bearable. I mean, after the exams, I knew I didn't deserve to pass. Apart from that, passing exams hasn't really been an issue.
So, my major challenge is that after 3 years, I've still not been able to myself playing the role of a pharmacist. Thinking of myself as one does not excite me as much as thinking of myself as a sports administrator or a farmer. In fact, in comparison, there's no excitement.
I've also thought of being a lecturer but I'm not a very patient person with people who keep 'refusing to understand'
My decision to work harder in recent past was only inspired by seeing people who I felt I was better than academically finishing 200L with better CGPA, not that i discovered myself.
So in summary, my biggest challenge is 'MY ROLE AS A PHARMACIST' / 'WHAT WILL I DO WITH PHARMACY'

For my favorite courses, PCL and PTE
I also like lab. especially dispensing and PMB.
I hope I didn't bore you guys.

I get ur points perfectly well but things could be easier, dey shouldn't go all detailed and strict. People study Chem, Biochem, Botany, Microbiology etc for a reason. D world now is now about division of labour and specialization. Been reading pharmaceutics , and I ask myself if I'm an engineering or physcis student with al d physcial stuffs I need to grasp. Jack of all trade is mostly a master of none. Osu mi jare.

nouveaux:
yet at d end of d day, one either end up wt 'take dis twice daily' or sum marketin ish. Wonder if I would explain d stereochemistry of compounds to ma patient. So annoyin. Doz lecturers need to get demselves outside d classes nd labs nd see wat is obtained in d real world. Those who brot d course to us have long evolved yet we are stuck here wt irrelevances (at least at underG level). Its ok at postgraduate level but buggin us at d underg level is just not it. If anybody is interestd in calcium oxalate crystals and d rest, den postgraduate is where such suld be unleashed. Focus on pharmaceutical care, management and admnistration nd yes, dats wen ur talkn, nt hw sum electrons r flyin abt in sn2 reaction. Mtchwwww

There is this man that do come to our shop to take Alabukun powder and extra panadol...this man takes d two together and he takes it almost everyday..i think i read something like drugs containing 'extra' like extra panadol have high caffeine content. To me, i think this man is damaging his health since he takes d two medicines together and he takes it almost everyday...
So what I'm thinking right now is if it is right 2advice the man concerning dos drugs (tho m yet 2b a druggist)...N is the drug combination good 4dat man before i take any step? If no, what advice can i give him in such a way that he won't think a young gal hu knws nothing abt drugs z advising him.thanks

And other pharmacists + pharm students

Bukkiminat:
boss,m saying a big THANK YOU

drered:
*Modified* i) Yeah. B.pharm is the minimum qualification needed to practise pharmacy in Nigeria. ii) Pharm. D and M.pharm is the minimum qualification in some other countries notably the united states and united kingdom respectively. They can practise in Nigeria after undergoing a course that usually lasts anywhere from 3months where they are taught the percuilarites of pharmacy practise, including its laws in Nigeria (the host country) and meeting other requirements such as tendering their license to practise in the country from which they obtained their certification and paying the required fee iii) Not that I know of. That should depend totally on the employer.. A graduate with a pharm D for example might be more relevant in the hospital and have a upper hand it is in no way a threat to the B. Pharm tho.. iv) Depends on the host country, for US you'll have to undergo an extra 2year course to get a Pharm.D or do a conversion course to work with your B.pharm which lasts anything from a year.. v) You'll have to go thru my previous post.. Its there somewhere.. But then if I remember properly you'd do pre-pharmacy for 2 years or 4 depending on if you want to have a B.sc in any of your core courses in addition to the Pharm. D you'll go on later to have and then Pharmacy school proper which I think is 4 years. In Nigeria it will be 6 years when implemented, the extra year focused on the clinical aspect of pharmacy. UNIBEN currently awards both B.Pharm nd Pharm. D and the length of her programme is 6 years.

Bukkiminat:
Obtaining a B.pharm degree,does it gives u a license to practice pharm in Nigeria?
Doctor of pharmacy and Master of Pharmacy,do they have the same right in Nigeria?

N does the two above have upper right than B.pharm in Nigeria?

Before u can practice in other countries like USA,Canada etc...what qualification must you obtain?
lastly,how many years does it take to obtain pharm.D in Nigeria and other Countries?

pharmguru:
didnt quite understand you....just counter the facts lets see

pharmguru:
you dont know much about pharmacists....do you?
see, pharmacists are not stuck to the hospital like you guys. they can always find a place outside the hospital. the doctors know that and so, in the actual sense, they are the ones feeling threatened by the pharmacists.
and because of their fears of losing most of their work to the pharmacists, they are fighting seriously to inhibit any form of growth in pharmacy education. Little wonder they were alarmed when the issue of PHARM.D came up. they knew that with any slight increase in the parmacists' clinical knowledge, they will be faced with stiff competition.
so dear, its the doctors that are feeling threatened by the pharmacists. and you know what?...i think the doctors "FEAR" secretly that shud the FG meet the demands of JOHESU, they will lose some of their respects and meet with stiff competition. that kinda explain the reason for their strike action. but dont worry sha....it will remain "our little secret".....hahaha

elder05:
dats not true! Patients r still being attended to like nothing happened. They only go outside 2 get their drugs

My dear, nobody has eva said any category of workers ain't important, nobody is saying dat & nobody ll say it. Bone of contention here is role play wc is needed 2 bring sanity into d system. 4 God's sake, wu wud a conzo nurse b consultant 2? This is wot wasn't defined dat made a nurse change d prescription of a consultant obstetrician. Abi u wanna feign ignorance of d story? ?

Cmanforall:
JOHESU Member.... See his 'Pharm' title. Lol. Catch you...
.
On the matter, please JOHESU, can you confidently state the reasons for this strike? If you want to justify it. Let's start from there. Tnx

kcdegr8:
My biggest disappointment in this brouhaha lies with the pharmacists. It's soo unfortunate that they have to stoop so low all in the name of fraternity, just to fight doctors. Such an absurdity!

After going through the communiqué issued recently by graduate nurses following their withdrawal from johesu, i was deeply impressed. No doubt the nurses have some demands on the table but the manner they have adopted is really matured. They know fighting for their rights as a solitary body is more feasible (unlike pharmacists asking FG to make cleaners consultants lol).

Pharmacists are people of great learning, arguably second only to the doctors in the hospital setup. It's high time they take their rightful place, pull out from the charlatans and let their voices be heard.

titanhayes:
I overheard two matrons in UCH raining courses on whoever is against the progress of their profession. No be small thing o!
I know JOHESU will kill herself soon. If the govt approves what they clamour for; then its not worth being a doctor...they want equal pay with doctors! They ve got guts!
And the Juniors on JOHESU know this clamour will only favour the nurses, pharms etc.Once they achieve that, they ll dump Johesu. Then another group will surface again fighting for equality instead of equity.

gbodimowo:
As far as I am concerned JOHESU Are irewlivsnt

omicron:
lol, see twisting of facts.

You should rather have said that the effect of the strike isnt as much cos patients still get to see their doctors
