The implementation of a pharmaceutical traceability plan, according to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), will reportedly help to step up the country’s fight against subpar and fake medications while also protecting people’s health.
This was said by the agency’s director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, during a workshop held in Port Harcourt to finalize the draft regulations for the traceability of pharmaceutical items.
The NAFDAC spokesperson Olusayo Akintola in Abuja signed a statement that said this.
“The task of safeguarding the health of the nation is daunting in the face of the chaotic drug distribution system currently existing in Nigeria,” said Ms. Adeyeye.
