ziga: The Nigerian ministry of health is purely admin. Are you just saying that to prove your position or you know that for sure.

Can you prodvide the job description?

The FG is the employer, so they are the ones who will determine what kind of duties are required.

go through this links pls . . http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Ministry_of_Health_(Nigeria)

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.

we are talking of NAFDAC nt hospital bro

CircleOfWilis: I have a feeling that man knows pharmacy beta than most of u..

yes, just like the Native Doctor knows Medicine than the Physicians sheay?
.

Zeusd3: pls pls stop circlenavigating around the issue still remains... a bicycle repairer can not b d president of NURTW... period..
doctors am behind u guyz
i can spend countless years in school and be adminstrated by an drug administer... NAIJA NA WA OOOO

and who is an drug administer?

nobilis: 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.

So what exactly is your headache?

.
.
U know the truth so, stop dogding.

Tobbie9: This Johesu guys r not serious, instead of them to prove that doctors r irrelevant now and end this once and for all they're busy sueing them to make them return 2 work though i support them not being paid 4 work not done.

and who said Physicians are irrelevant?
No one is irrelevant bro.

come back here o. . .biko

ziga: In order to decide who to head any institution, you first think about what kind of decisions they will be making.

If the minister of health has to make health decisions that a Doctor normally would make, then he has to be a Doctor.

If it is purely administrative, (which is most unlikely, just like the example of the attorney general) then it should be somebody capable of making good administrative decisions in the in the interest of their bosses.

People with deserving qualifications should be heads. In Nigeria, everything is upside down!!! Everything has to do with politics and not merit.

A smart and economical decision will be to merge both duties into one position - Administrative + Medical. And of a Doctor is in the best position to head these organizations for our Nigerian situation, then make it compulsory for applicants to have administrative education or experience.

Let us put the best qualified people as our leaders in everything or else we will continue to rot in sh|t...

the ministry of health is purely admin bro.

Afrocatalyst: Pharmacists are nt trained to head hospitals like doctors. Why beating around the bush na?

no one except hospital administrators are trained to head the hospital. But, then Pharmacy students one or two admin courses and even pharmacoeconomics.

Caleboha: After over 200 years American physicians allowed the first nurse. Nigerian physicians have atleast 150 years to monopolise the position before it becomes a bone of contention.

just like the way we shud wait 4 the number of years it took US to be free of corruption.

lexib: this one is still battling with inferiority complex... smh

If u can't decipher wot I wrote there then, I advice u b careful b4 ur head fall off while u continue to shake it.

we aint talking about the hospital here but, NAFDAC.

retepmurt: Nothing,i mean absolutely nothing wil happen.As a matter of fact,pharmacists only dispense in our govt hospitals in Nigeria.Drugs are being manufactured by the private pharmaceutical companies.

what do u tink is the role of NAFDAC?

Pls move to fp https://www.nairaland.com/1815985/horoho-takes-oath-first-nurse#24747492

house37: You are just blabbing.The deserted hospital are indeed a testimony to the fact that majority of the masses now dislike doctors.286 indeed and you think that jamb result with what we all know about jamb and the high probability that you didn't get that score unaided is enough guarantee that you would have sailed through medical school and residency smoothly.

and does it still guarantee one sailing through Pharmacy school?

dexterinc2003: Hahahahha.....loook,another alawada...nairaland really got jokers

ARE U LIKE THIS

Eldavido1: When the went on strike, was it legal or constitutional? This johesu are worsening an already bad situation.

blame it on NMA who went on strike because of an agreement.

Victomolola: Johesu's envy will not make them equal to doctors, will it? They are coveting what they didn't deserve!

and what do they dont deserve?

decode55: someone on nairaland once said





if the FG succumbs to this comical plea by Johesu for this consultant thingy, then this country is doomed.

If you want to be a consultant, go to Medical School. Shikena!

u dare compare a Pharmacist to that? U r who u r.

Oduduwaboy: what do you know about the Hippocratic oath this man? Are you aware of the 1948 Physicians' oath ? stop trying to prove you know , you don't know anything . At best, you remain a WANNABE !

Just like Dr. Paul Orhii is a wannabe Pharmacist.

Oduduwaboy: Wetin concern JOHESU inside NMA matter ? They should go and attend to the patients now . Infact , the practice of medicine should be outlawed in Nigeria so that JOHESU members can have the patients to themselves ...with time too if they like they can gradually assume the title 'Dr' & Consultant which they so much covet ! Jobless doctor wannabes !

wetin concern NMA with JOHESU matter or u no knw y dem go strike?
.
For your information ur real name is PHYSICIAN and not Doctor.

I nid the general publics view on this and not just those who visit this section. Pls help take it to Front page.

Oduduwaboy: ...and your point is? we should now allow Pharmacists to head hospitals? Have you seen it done anywhere before ?

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.

sisinaijayeye0: .

Why are you shying away from the fact that pharmacists make this chalk drug? And we doctors do not know that it is fake when we administer it, you people are killers. That's all.

yea. . . Making most ur diagnosis useless.
.
.
.
So, is everyone important?
.
Go make the drugs yourself since u can do everythg.

matify: That man is a Neuro- pharmacologist.

And was practicing law before his appointment as DG NAFDAC.

Pharmacology isn't Pharmacy. Law doesn't give him good knowledge of Pharmacy.
.
Pharmacology is no where near Pharmacy.

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.

The MBBS curriculum doesn't give the Physician an administrative qualification.

Nigerian Physicians want that office.
Will they ever allow a Nurse there?

Oduduwaboy: A nurse is still a nurse whether nurse Practitioner or not. If you want to truly be a Doctor , go to a Medical school and stop causing unnecessary chaos in the society by creating doctor-wannabes !

yea, jst like Dr. Paul Orhii wants to be a Pharmacist from the back door.
.

The wise will always check histories when necessary and make do with it.

drkay: What's this 1 saying?

u dnt knw?
