In other to address patient’s pharmaceutical needs, the newly inaugurated Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) President, Pharm. Armed Yakassi, has called for consultancy cadre in public service pharmacy practice. Pharm. Yakassi, made this call during his inauguration ceremony, at Transcorp Hilton Abuja during the weekend.
He said there was a need for pharmacists to develop new ways to support patients in their use of medicines through clinical decisions across the range of ailments.
“This is the major reason why the PSN continues to champion the dire need for a consultancy cadre in public service pharmacy practice. Our duty is to work and ensure that the added value we bring to healthcare and our potentials are taken into account and respected by policy makers and other health professionals.
We note here that there is a lot of competition, confrontation and distrust in the health sector”, he said. According to him, pharmacists must address the needs of society, in preserving the health of the people.
In other to achieve this, he called for collaboration, consultation, and cooperation of all stakeholders. “We must open our hearts and minds to allow the team concept to rule our worlds in healthcare delivery.
There is no doubt that the cost of fighting against disease and preserving health will continue to increase in spite of constant control and intervention. There are manifold reasons and benefits for wishing to create a genuine cooperation between pharmacists and other healthcare providers.”
