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.

hmm

That man is a Neuro- pharmacologist.

And was practicing law before his appointment as DG NAFDAC.

And the point is dat he is not a pharmacist,so he cud nt have held that post. But he was allowed and no strike action was embarked

Pharmacology isn't Pharmacy. Law doesn't give him good knowledge of Pharmacy.

Pharmacology is no where near Pharmacy.

...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.

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.

I'd rather blame PCN than blame you.. If things were the way it should be. Any strike effected by pharmacists would be comprehensive.. Lock down in hospital pharmacies likewise community and industry. Then we'd see how much impact would be felt.. Lol. Common hatred? This is just a comeback from repression that has gone on for so many years. The tides have changed..

PSN can't shut down anything einstein. Its a society, not a regulatory body or trade union..

NMA is a joke. A pharmacist is a business man, an atrator. The rigorous curriculum bestowed that on him. With istrative pharmacy and pharmacoeconomics, you can't go wrong with handing your managerial assignments to a pharmacist. If pharmacology was pharmacy, then pigs would fly. Guess a degree in pharmacy, law, public health, and management would 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!

everyone is just taking shots at doctors

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

I just came to read.

Both of them are touts

Smh

Before you write on any issue I'd advice that you
make proper research into the subject matter. One
thing you must realise is that the only constant
thing in life is change and when. In today's
medical world due to the ever growing health
challenges and nEed for better care other
professionals in the health sector don't just stop at
getting first degrees, they are specializing in
different areas in their chosen fields to better eqyip
them do peform their fxn better. All this is geared
towards better patients care. Unfortunately
Nigerian Drs see it as a threat to them because
they feel if others are granted consultancy rights
they will come to their level. There is no point
disputing the fact that Drs are leaders in the health
care team. The mark of a true leader is to do your
job and ensure that ur team mates also do theirs.
They cannot do so if they are nor trained to.
Nigerian Drs should come down from their
egocentric world and emulate what other countries
are doing then we would be the better for it. I'll
ask why is it that they are always quick to go on
strike with any liTtle misunderstanding? Why can't
they try every other possible means b4 resrting to
strike?

what JOHESU is
demanding for Is not out of place but it is
happening all over the world. As far as I'm
concerned this matter is not worth the lives that
have been lost and are still being lost everyday due
to this strike.

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.
