The National Association of Pharmacy
Technologists and Technicians of Nigeria has said it will collaborate
with relevant stakeholders in the health sector in the war against fake
drugs.
The Chairman of NAPTON, Cross River State
chapter, Mr. Henry Tita, said this in Calabar in his acceptance speech
after the chapter’s election.
He said, “I also dedicate this victory to
late Prof. Dora Akunyili for what she believed in, and together with
members of my association, we will fight to eradicate fake drugs in our
society.”
Tita noted that the association was the
technical arm of the pharmacy profession, urging related associations
not to undermine its importance.
He called on the Cross River state government to accord NAPTON due recognition to allow for industrial harmony.
Also, the State Chairman of Medical and
Health Workers Union of Nigeria, Mr. Andem Usua, spoke in the same vein,
saying the association should be allowed to play its part in fighting
drug faking.
