The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, PCN, on Thursday, announced that it has sealed a total of 391 pharmacies and patent medicine stores within the last one week in Enugu.
DAILY POST reports that this was disclosed by the Registrar of the Council, Pharm. Elijah Mohammed during a press briefing in Enugu, addressed on his behalf by the Council’s Director of Enforcement, Pharm. Stephen Esumobi.
He told journalists that the exercise was carried out by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Committees, PICs, which has been in Enugu State since the beginning of the week.
He lamented that “the motive behind the operations of most of these illegal medicine shops is profit. This has created room unhealthy acts such as the sale of substances of abuse to criminal elements in the society who carry out their nefarious activities under the influence of drugs.”
Dr Ehanire said, “The government recognises that pharmacists are key to achieving the goals and objectives of the strategic health sector reform in Nigeria.
“Thus, the creation of the consultant pharmacist cadre by the National Council on Establishment (NCE) is part of the overall effort of the government to reposition the pharmacy profession for the provision of more improved and quality healthcare services to the people.
“It is also hoped that this will stem the tide of brain drain to other parts of the world in search of specialisation and better remuneration.”
The minister who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Abdullahi Mashi, said the Federal Ministry of Health had liaised with the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission (NSIWC) to include consultant pharmacists in the specialists’ allowance for consultant healthcare professionals.
