. The Alarming State of Pharmacy Practice in Nigeria: A Call to Action

The pharmacy profession in Nigeria is facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions. The noble profession, which demands precision, expertise, and a commitment to public health, is being egregiously compromised. The stark truth is that pharmacy practice in Nigeria has become the most abused profession, with far-reaching consequences for the health and well-being of citizens.

Unlike other respected professions, such as law and medicine, where strict standards and regulations are upheld, pharmacy practice in Nigeria has been largely hijacked by unqualified individuals. It is estimated that approximately 60% of pharmacy premises are owned and operated by uneducated men who have no business dispensing medication or offering healthcare advice.

These pseudo-pharmacists, driven by greed and a desire for profit, pay off licensed pharmacists with paltry sums of 300 to 400k per year year ooo... effectively reducing them to mere employees. This outrageous scenario not only undermines the integrity of the pharmacy profession but also puts the lives of millions of Nigerians at risk.

The implications are dire:

Lack of added value and respect for pharmacist

- Inadequate medication management and counseling
- Incorrect dispensing of medications, leading to adverse reactions and interactions
- Uncontrolled sale of controlled substances, fueling addiction and abuse
- Lack of quality control and assurance, compromising the safety and efficacy of medications

It is imperative that pharmacists, regulatory bodies, and stakeholders take immediate action to reclaim the profession and restore the trust and respect it deserves. This can be achieved by:

1. Advocating for stricter regulations
2. Supporting education and training
3. Reporting irregularities and non-compliance

Urgent action is needed to address this crisis and ensure the health and well-being of Nigerians.

The 2021 WHO GLASS reports shows that the proportion of patients with ge***al infections caused by resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae are extremely high for ciprofloxacin. There are intermediate rates of resistance against azithromycin, primarily used to treat individuals with ge***al chlamydial infections. There is decreased susceptibility against ceftriaxone which is an injectable but is the first line drug recommended by WHO and in many countries because of widespread resistance to quinolones. An accurate rapid test combined with susceptibility or resistance testing is urgently needed so that doctors can be informed about what drug to use.
