The Nigerian Association of Hospital and Administrative Pharmacists has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address the injustice in the health sector.The association made the call in a communique forwarded to our correspondent by its Vice-Chairman, Mr. Kingsley Amibor, on Tuesday. Members of the association in Lokoja, Kogi State, at a conference entitled, “Transforming Hospital and Administrative Pharmacy Practice for Improved Healthcare Delivery.” According to the association, the Federal Ministry of Health and other health institutions in the country have been denying its members key positions.The association also urged the FMH to respect the various Memorandum of Understanding it had signed with the leadership of JOHESU to avoid crisis in the sector. It added, “We want the government to do as it has promised. However, the union would not hesitate to instruct its members to down tools should the government fail to keep faith with those agreements.” The association also canvassed the implementation of the National Drug Prescription policy to address the arbitrary use of drugs among Nigerians. The abuse, it claimed, had resulted in increased cases of adverse drug events among careless users.
