Lagos, April 26, 2021 Some medical experts have warned Nigerians against taking malaria treatment without proper diagnosis and confirmation as it could lead to complicated medical conditions.
The experts, who spoke with newsmen in Lagos on Monday, decried the rate at which people indulged in self-medication by using anti-malaria drugs without diagnostic confirmation of the presence of malaria parasite in the body .
Mr Jude Ezenwa, Laboratory Scientist, urged Nigerians to always comply with the National Policy on Malaria which advised medical testing before receiving treatment.
Ezenwa, who works with Tex Laboratory Services, Okota Lagos, said that the policy, which had been in existence for years lacked adequate implementation, compliance and supervision.
