Again other healthcare workers fighting against scope creeps will always be funny.
You know most Nigerians are so uninformed and so loud.
MOST OF YOU ARE SO USED TO DOCTORS AND NURSES DOING EVERYTHING FOR YOU...
A Health Care Assistant can do
Blood pressure measurement.
Pulse rate (heart rate).
Respiratory rate.
Oxygen saturation (SpO₂).
Body temperature.
Pain scores.
Consciousness assessment using AVPU.
NEWS2 observations and calculations, where trained like in the UK or Canada,
Blood glucose monitoring (capillary blood glucose).
Weight and height measurements.
Fluid balance monitoring.
Urine output measurement.
And many more!!!!!
They are trained in this basics...
A big hospital anywhere in the world can stand without Health Care Assistants!
Nah actually, educated quacks never joke with their relatives. You would see someone always insist that his/ her opinion must be followed on the ward insisting that it’s a particular consultant that must see his/ her relatives for the tiniest illness. Dem go don call prior self
Go and prescribe, na you sabi.
The hospital will always win in the end
Pharmacists that spends 5-6 years in school studying
Pharmaceutical/ medicinal chemistry
pharmacognosy
Pharmacology
toxicology
Pharmacotherapeutics
Should not prescribe, but you that only know surface level of drugs want to be sole prescriber, you can't see that you're sick.

I think most of the arguments we have here even between HCWs are because people don’t understand who a consultant is.
This is like complaining that a 3 star general is not on a routine road block.

Real Arab, real Muslim, in the Arabian Peninsula & non Muslim are still eating in front of us during Ramadan.
Malls open, restaurants open SO WHAT?
We fast because we want to. They don’t have to starve for our sake! Apparently you’re the one who can’t handle seeing food 😂😂
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙

What’s MDCN’s plan for those that paid for COGS and are no longer eligible?
Will they be refunded??
Why’s there no dialogue regarding the COGS?? @nard_nigeria @nationalnma

I'm a cardiologist.
Every heart catheterization I've done in nearly 30 years exists because one 25-year-old resident disobeyed his boss in 1929.
His name was Werner Forssmann. 🧵

Her first point is exactly what I told people in one whatsapp group few weeks ago.
Does not matter how much you whitewash the statistics, or how much you define the textbook models - the core goal of a democratic government is to make the everyday life of the common man better.
Once you do not achieve that, it is no longer democracy. It is government of the people, not of the elite.
If boda Rafa - the goat meat seller in Oromu street in Ilesa cannot point to a tangible way his life got better in 4 years, and Aunty Comfo, a hairdresser in Ijamo street in Ilesa cannot say one aspect of her life that improved in your 4 years, it is a pure waste.
No amount of statistics can change it.
I think people should stick to vouching for themselves. I have seen a number of patients defaulting follow-up because they are being managed in the pharmacy. We have had someone advocate for pharmacists to manage T2DM and HTN. In his words’ they are medication heavy conditions’
What Nigerian pharmacists do in community pharmacies is managing common conditions like cold, dyspepsia, malaria etc. Nobody is taking that away from us.
I have worked in the community and neither I nor anyone ever prescribed antihypertensives or antidiabetics for instance.
We know our roles and limitations
The most emotional part of medicine is when relatives start thanking and praying for you after losing their loved one. If you don’t leave fast enough, you can burst into tears

Nigerian doctors will be shocked to learn that, since 2024, at least nine countries have established independent prescribing authority for PHARMACISTS, depending on their scope of practice.
Prepare to be amazed.
Pharmaceutical care is the future of healthcare delivery.
