 The National Primary Health Care Development Agency has said over 70 percent of medical drugs being dispensed in Nigeria are substandard. The agency, other than the majority of Nigerians, did not have access to health services. It made this known on its website ahead of the Primary Health Care Submit-Tagged Remaging Primary Health Care in Nigeria. And joining us this afternoon is Omolayo Awulola. The pharmacist is good to have you join us, Omolayo Awulola. Good afternoon. Yes, good afternoon. How would you describe the quality control of relevant supervisory bodies like NAFDAG in this regard? Well, I'd like to say that there are several reasons why drug dispensing in Nigeria are substandard. And one of the reasons is as a result of unregulated open drug market, of which I know that NAFDAG are working towards trying to reduce the amount of open market in Nigeria. Of course, room is not built in a day and it takes time because some of these things are hurting because they have illegal access to some of these drugs, which makes them substandard. And the NAFDAG is working aimlessly to have to try to reduce this. Another issue that we have is cross-border monitoring and surveillance systems. So the NAFDAG and other agencies are also working aimlessly to ensure that some of these loopholes at the border whereby importation of drugs come into Nigeria to be able to work on these loopholes to ensure that quality drugs are being imported into Nigeria. And then patients, clients, everyone have access to quality drugs. Also, we try to, as promises to try to advise patients that they should get their drugs from a registered pharmacy because when you get your drugs from registered pharmacy, you are sure that you're getting the quality drugs. And you can also use someone accountable. Thank you. Well, what are the ways that consumers can immediately dictate a substandard drug? Well, there are several ways. There are some drugs whereby they have some scratches on it and they have some pain on it whereby you can scratch and then send an SMS or through a full free line, whereby you can be able to know whether some of these drugs are substandard of quality or not. So those are one of the things that have been put in place. Also, research is continuous. In the course of the importation of drugs into Nigeria, when quality investigations are being done on some of these drugs that have been imported and they realize that a specific batch of drugs have some similar things on their label that indicates that they are substandard, they immediately announce to the regulatory bodies like pharmacies and also announce to the public to ensure that if any of these labels are being seen of this batch of drugs, they are substandard and should not be used. So those are one of the ways in which we help. All right, just before we let you go, what would be your advice for consumers on precautionary measures? My advice would be that to get drugs from registered pharmacies and not quacks really because like I said earlier, you can hold people accountable when you get your drugs from registered pharmacies and as well, when you get your drugs from registered pharmacies, you are sure that you're getting a quality drug that has been stored at the right temperature and also quality investigations are being done before this drug has been procured and stored on the shelf to ensure to get your drugs from registered pharmacies.
