Pharmacists under
the aegis of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) have lauded the
return of President Buhari to the country after a medical vacation of
about 100 days and the health reforms he is implementing through the
Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH).
President PSN,
Ahmed I. Yakasai, and National Secretary PSN, Gbologade Iyiola, in a
press statement noted: "We are particularly delighted that the President
looked fit, hale and hearty on his return which is an eloquent
testimony of good care and of course a self imposed determination to
shake-off all vagaries of ill health by a passionate President.
"It is therefore
most apropos to return all glory and honour to the creator for divine
intervention in arresting the hitherto sliding health of Mr. President
while also wishing His Excellency a full complement of robust health
grounded in wellness and vitality.
"Recent development
with regards to a need for health interventions outside the country
compels a need to continue to appraise the totality of the health
system.
"There are
challenges with both the funding and structure of health inclined
endeavours which compel defective outcomes. In terms of evaluation of
structures in the health system a vital component remains appointments
in some of the regulatory agencies and some other strategic organs in
the health sector." The PSN added:
"The health system
must be revitalized in line with the progressive strides being recorded
in the development of infrastructures in road and rail construction
amongst others in our country.
"As President
Buhari resumes office, we wish him a fruitful and productive tenure in
the next 21 months. It is our prayer that the days ahead will usher
hope, prosperity, good health and unprecedented progress to Nigerians.
"The Pharmaceutical
Society of Nigeria remains an undisputable ally of the Federal
Government in meeting its goals and objectives of good health to the
citizenry.
We believe albeit strongly that these goals and objectives
must be hinged on lawful appointments in all ministries, departments and
agencies (MDAs) to facilitate positive outcomes for consumers of health
in our nation. We therefore assure government of our support at all
times even as we convey our courtesies to President Buhari."
