Unregulated drug markets also contribute greatly to proliferation of quack doctors because most of those fake doctors start with having patent medicine shops and then graduate to administering injections and carrying out D and C. Next, they obtain forged license and start parading themselves as medical doctors.

We really need to thoroughly regulate healthcare in this country!

Gadafii:
No region do drugs reach north, NDLEA no just Dey beam their torchlight there the way they do in other regions

We are not talking about drugs of abuse here but normal therapeutic drugs which are faked thereby either hindering therapy or even causing death or injuries to patients. Igbos are major culprits in sales of fake drugs in this country and that is why they are the people that oppose any policy of government directed towards sanitizing the nation's drug distribution system.

Even the recent efforts of Kano state government to relocate the drug markets in Kano to a coordinated wholesale center was opposed mostly by Igbo traders. Thank goodness that Ganduje understood the danger posed by those unscrupulous drug dealers, hence he showed the political will that facilitated relocation of the sabon gari open drug market to a CWC where they can be effectively regulated.

Thank God that Kano has even taken a giant stride towards sanitizing the drug distribution system with the establishment of the Coordinated Wholesale Center in the state (CWC), how about headbridge market and other open drug markets in the southeast Those are death zones where merchants of death operate freely

The federal government introduced the national drug distribution guidelines (NDDG) as far back as the government of Olusegun Obasanjo, yet up till today, only Kano state has taken a concrete step towards actualizing the objectives of that policy. That was one of Ganduje's great achievements!

Other state governments have either continued to take bribes from the beneficiaries of the chaotic open drug markets system or are ignorant of the dangers posed by such unregulated systems. I currently work in a hospital and I can tell you first hand that many Nigerians die on daily basis from fake drugs. Governments should know that any investments made in health without a functional drug distribution system is a colossal waste of tax payers money! Think about the developed societies, they understand the impacts of drugs on healthcare and that is why they strictly regulate drug distribution and use.


Let's aggressively implement the noble ideas of the NDDGs and put this issue of fake drugs and poor heathcare system to rest!

Kudos to Kano state government for blazing the trails in implementing the NDDG policy

Another simp bites the dust!

Men who refuse to learn from the experiences of others would continue to suffer in the hands of women. One yeye guy was arguing with me some moments ago how women are his responsibilities to take care of.

Any man who thinks himself "responsible" for spending his hard earned money on a woman in the name of relationship or even marriage deserves to die in this manner. The most annoying part is that such mumuish men usually think they're the "real men" while others are losers. However, the reverse is actually the case.

I only pity his loved ones

DonroxyII:
The Job of a Sensible Man is to Care for His Woman/Women ... Nature drafted it that way ... Tour the World, Military & Hard Jobs is for the Men while Women takes care of the home.....

When you work hard & tired, Your Woman is Your Resting place ...

So if your brain concluded you want to become a Woman simply because of Bambiala, You would surely become whatever you want to become but don't come to nairaland crying Oceans due to ya effeminate Nature ....

Nature never drafted anything! It's all human ideas!!!

During the stone age when survival depended on physical strength, it'll be understandable if men take up women as their responsibilities. But now that mental strength is the source of survival and women have shown to be able to earn a living, it'll very f00lish of any man to see women as his responsibility. Everyone has got to cater for themselves and lovers should mutually care for each other.

There are no organizations in Nigeria or anywhere in the world that pay female employees less than they pay their male counterparts. Most jobs these days also employ women and men equally, so it's not like men earn more than women. Why then should men have the responsibility of taking care of women

Until such a time when we stop educating women and giving them equal employment opportunities with men, there's no basis for anyone to expect a man to take up the responsibility of being the sole provider for women in marriage or relationships. It is simply unrealistic!

People who are in love and want to marry each other should simply work out how to shoulder the financial responsibilities equally or however they deem fit. There's a reason why properties are shared among couples during divorce. That is because it is expected that both worked together to acquire whatever material possessions they have. Properties won't be shared in that manner if the law sees the man as the one whose responsibility it is to provide.

As for me personally, don't worry about me. I assure you that there'll never be a time when I'll come crying about my relationships with the opposite sex to you or to anyone else. I'm a professional working hard and smart to earn my money but my money is meant for me to solve my personal problems, invest, take care of my blood relatives and give out to charity when the need arises. It is not meant to take up the responsibility of providing for a woman.

SenecaTheYonger:
It does cloud one’s judgement.

It doesn't! That's why you've not committed incest with the excuse of having high testosterone, or have you

SenecaTheYonger:
Men with high testosterone can fvck any thing. Sorry about your low T

Stop capping rubbish!!!

High testosterone doesn't cloud one's brains

Jeon:
Yes, I prefer that than someone who can't control his stupid talks.

What we all brought to media is what we all do off media.

Not always the case, my dear.

Jeon:
I said what I said.

I judge by the way you think and talk not by appearance.

👋

You may miss out some great guys if you don't learn how to get to know people beyond their social media posts.

Jeon:
That reflect the personality.

May not be the case. I know this very well

Jeon:
She won't miss because ur mumu too much.

Some of you take nairaland posts too serious sha. People are just here to kill boredom and their comments or posts may not necessarily reflect their personality.

Sorry for your loss

georgeakins:
Trash.
Have you heard about low blood sugar before ?

Olukoya is scamming all of you with witchcraft stories daily, while he keeps accumulating billions of naira at your expense.

I used to be a member until I got tired of being deceived.
Olukoya, an acclaimed scientist will be attributing all the misfortunes in life to witchcraft, in order to keep his dumb followers in perpetual bondage.
Nonsense!

Don't mind Nigerians o. There's a reason why our politicians allow the various religious houses to operate freely in Nigeria without even paying taxes. It's because religion helps to keep Nigerians perpetually blind so they don't demand accountability from the politicians. They'll rather resort to prayers and hope of going to heaven than protest for our leaders to do their works of providing basic amenities for us.

It's quite embarrassing that anytime news of this nature is published, there's 90% chance that the culprit is from my tribe!


This is not how to be industrious! We really need to change the orientation of Igbo youths. This menace spells doom for our young ones.



I'm ashamed!

Girls and longthroat!


Tufiaaaaaaaa!!!

I hate girls that are easily enticed by material things! They are the ones who readily fall victims to playboys. Those materials are like a bait used to trap them

Tell your father mumu, and while doing that, ensure to check into the nearest psychiatric hospital. You need the attention of a psychiatrist as soon as possible.

Kobojunkiee:
Not too long ago , I came upon a thread where Nigerians in Nigeria were arguing that the health care system as is was in OK shape. You must not be aware of this.

Those making such argument clearly don't know what a good healthcare system looks like.

Several years of poor access to quality healthcare have made some people get accustomed to the poor system. It'll take some education to get Nigerians accept any reforms aimed at revamping the system and changing the status quo. Example is the National health insurance scheme which many people are reluctant to key into

Instead of holding our leaders by the balls until they fix our healthcare system such that Nigerians can readily access quality healthcare, we'll rather attribute deaths from accumulated negligence of our healths to village people and the devil.


RIP to the dead

naija4life247:
Maintain hold on power and multiply poverty?

That's not what the political class among them want to know. Why do you think Sanusi was dethroned for daring to criticize polygamy among poor northerners?

If you think these northern politicians don't know what they're doing, then you're naive. This is just a strategy to keep the northern population rising while the WOKE south keeps declining in population. At the end of the day, the north maintains hold on political power while the south lives at their mercy.

Who says northerners ain't smart?!!

koladed40:
Even in the animal Kingdom, it is the same. Relationship for a woman is transactional and money is the sole factor here. It is general plague. it is only high in poverty induced countries. It is only a man that can marry a woman with nothing. it is rare that woman marries a man without something. just make sure as a man, you get this money most in a legit way

No gender was meant to be the provider or the taker. It's just a human construct.

Once the human psyche is conditioned in a particular way of seeing the world, it tends to adapt to that way of life over time. If you raise your daughters with the psyche of being independent and catering for themselves, they'll not grow up thinking that they're meant to depend on men.

When God wants to punish a people, He diverts their minds to trivial things while they get consumed by major problems.


I don't want to believe that God has completely given up on Nigeria.

My only problem is with the male gender who reduce their own worth to mere sex. While women would demand silver and gold for the same sex they'll enjoy more than men, fullish men would mumuishly part with their money just for sex! Yet they'll claim to be the logical gender!

Men must learn to demand for money from women too. Anything it'll take. Even if it is to resort to mazturbation as a way to reduce the urge for secx, they should do it.

Men should also stop marrying poor girls but go for the rich and comfortable. What is sauce for 'Greece' should also be sauce for 'Uganda'.

Thank you.

seunmsg:
What nonsense is this? The Acting governor must be warned seriously not to try this nonsense. It’s even crazy that they are considering this kind of provocative appointment.

But Enugu state governor recently appointed a Yoruba man as DG of ESBS and even has other Yorubas as SA

worksmart:
Ok imagine some directors being forced to resign may only be in their forties
whilst Tinubu who is pushing for this rule is in his seventies.

Stop making senseless comparison!

If the director wants to join politics, he/she should resign first and then join politics so he/she may become president at 70.

Civil service is different from political positions.

Jossyfine:
They can’t take their wives to a hotel but they will willingly take a side chick there. mtchew

Even when one contributes financially at home, they will still complain 😔 nijia men and romantic are like water and fire

Side chick is different from wife

Riscawendy:
The situation at hand is not easy for both, the man and the woman. For the woman, it is usually frustrating being the bread winner of the family so l can relate with that. For the man loosing your job 2 years no be beans. The anger, the frustration, depression etc will always set in. I feel he is trying to use the drinking and smoking to forget his sorrow but my advice to him is that it will never erase the situation.
Going forward l feel he should use the money he is using to drink and smoke to learn a skill online, who knows something may kick off from there.

Why is it frustrating for a woman to win bread for her own family A family she'll eventually be the biggest beneficiary of??!

Honestly, the way you ladies hammer on the man being the provider thing ehn, is suspicious! I find it hard to rationalize that notion in modern marriages. If it were in the stone age, I'll understand. If it's about taking care of the one I love and care about, It'll be a different ball game and I can go all out to care for her out of LOVE, but making it my responsibility I think is unrealistic given the prevailing economic realities where both men and women now have equal access to wealth.

If this story was the reverse, I'm sure the man would be blamed for not opening a business for his wife after losing her job or not helping her get another job. Since op is working, what efforts has she made to help her better half back on his feet This is why many of us are seeing marriage as a very big scam against the menfolk.

DoctorAyukebot:
Most stakeholders accept the future of healthcare is in Pharmaceutical care as the full range of knowledge and skills of Pharmacists can be beneficially and appropriately harnessed.

The qualifications of a Pharmacists across different countries have morphed from Bsc (Pharm) to PharmD (Doctorate in Pharmacy) consequently receiving the same clinical instructions as medical doctors.

Therefore most Pharmacists are qualified to provide treatment options, manage medication side effects, interpret lab results, perform physical exams, and administer vaccines, among several other professional services

The benefits of integrating Pharmacists into active clinical settings have been clearly demonstrated in the US.

When Pharmacists get utilised beyond their primary role of monitoring and dispensing medications their impact can be fully felt in alleviating the huge burden on Physicians, as elderly and old old patients can get into the management roaster of Pharmacists while Physicians target new and complex cases.

Acccording to Deloitte research, healthcare in the future will become increasingly focused on prevention rather than treatment, with healthcare increasingly taking place in the home or the community. In such a future, the pharmacist workforce could move toward providing clinical services and primary and specialty care such as cell and gene therapy, as well as assisting patients with digital healthcare devices.

Federally Qualified Health Centers in the US, a community healthcare setting that provides health services to underserved populations like illegal migrants have clearly demonstrated the importance of fully intergrating Pharmacists into the clinical settings

According to a report published in the American Journal of Clinical Pharmacy on the role of Clinical Pharmacists in FQHC in the US, Pharmacists in FQHCs are providing care that is interprofessional, multifaceted, and evolving rapidly in response to environmental changes. Pharmacists are routinely involved in the traditional management of chronic disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, behavioral health, and respiratory conditions. In addition, pharmacists have forged roles in preventive care, infectious disease, and pain management.

At such it is safe to say the skills and learning of Pharmacists clearly tailored towards clinical practice can also benefit most hospital settings across Africa placing them at a role that surpasses monitoring and dispensing of drugs in both private and public practice

Thank you for throwing more light on the subject matter.

Africans and African men believe going to the hotel alone with ur spouse is a waste of resources but forgetting it’s actually bonds couple together.
Even going on dates with ur spouse is a big problem amongst the Nigerian men.

Omo marriage is too boring biko

When you are making your fair share of contribution to the family's finances, then your man would have the time to take you out on dates. Not when he's the one working his butt off everyday to ensure there's money to keep the household running.

Pharmaceutical Care is the practice in which the practioner-- a Pharmacist, takes responsibility for a patient's drug-related needs and is held accountable for this commitment. In the course of this practice, responsible drug therapy is provided for the purpose of achieving positive patients outcomes. It is the Pharmacist's contribution to the care of patients in order to optimize medicine use and improve health outcomes.

In Nigeria, this practice had been hindered by physicians who are mostly at the helm of affairs in our hospitals. Many of these physicians do not really understand the concept, hence they feel insecure about it. Some of them actually understand that the concept is not in any way a threat to their medical practice, but because of their selfish interests, they oppose the idea.

Some of this physicians in public hospitals connive with private drug suppliers to rip the government off the profits accruable from drugs in our public hospitals. As we all know, drugs are the cash cows of healthcare, hence instead of upgrading the public hospitals' pharmacies to perform optimally to the advantage of government and patients, these unscrupulous physicians are only concerned about how to milk the system, hence they take bribes from private suppliers and refer patients to them where patients are made to pay through their noses for drugs that can be purchased at a cheaper rate if the hospital pharmacies had such drugs.

With the introduction of the pharmaceutical Care concept, the Pharmacists should now be responsible for ensuring that essential drugs are stocked in our hospital pharmacies and also ensure that patients benefit optimally from their medicines while goverments also gain maximum accruals from drugs. This concept is the reason why Pharm.D degree was introduced as the minimum qualifications for licensure to practice as a Pharmacist.

Therefore, the new ministers of health have a duty to ensure that Nigerians benefit from this concept by promoting its implementation in our public hospitals. They have to allay the fears of Nigerian Pharmacists and other healthcare providers that physicians would use their powers to truncate growth of our healthcare system when they're given positions of leadership. If not ignorance, selfishness and outright witch-hunting, there's no genuine reasons for Nigerian physicians to constitute themselves as clogs in the wheels of progress of our healthcare system. The pharmaceutical Care concept does not in any way interfere with the responsibilities of the physicians but is meant to benefit health-seeking Nigerians.


The ministers should know that we are watching keenly and would not hesitate to fight back using every legal means should they try to suffocate other healthcare professionals to the disadvantage of Nigerians.

At least, we'll be getting enough supply of lithium we need for drugs making aside lithium batteries
