A patient in my hospital died because of an inability to afford an inhaler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, a hypertensive patient died because he could no longer afford ARB, CCB and diuretics antihypertensive drugs,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n<p>A patient in the National Hospital, Abuja, Isaac Adebayo, lamented that his family is contemplating alternatives due to the high prices of drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can no longer afford drugs due to high prices. As I speak to you, my family are looking at alternative treatment outside the hospital\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Ali Pate, reiterated in February that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is targeting an Executive Order as a short-term measure to reduce the surge in prices of pharmaceutical products; however, this has not come to light.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST on Monday, Dr Uche Ojinmah, the President of the Nigerian Medical Association, said the surge in prices of drugs had led to a rise in death rate and a reduction in life expectancy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the country was currently facing high prices of medications and a surge in fake drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Ojinmah urged the government to declare an emergency in Nigeria\u2019s health sector to avoid further collapse.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Nigerian government should look at tax waivers for the imports of medicines and pharmaceuticals and intervention in the local production of drugs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in a country where for a hypertensive patient, a drug that used to be sold for N2,000 to N4,000 a few years ago is now selling for N39,000 for a monthly dose, and the minimum wage is N30,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAntibiotics are now within the range of N8,000 and above. The cheapest drug now is maybe Paracetamol, within N400 per pack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this country, there will be dual disease burdens. Infection disease and lifestyle disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the Western world, they are mainly suffering from diseases of lifestyle such as diabetes, hypertension and others, but in Africa, it is a dual disease burden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow patients can\u2019t afford antihypertensive drugs, anti-diabetes drugs, not to mention those with kidney and renal failure. Dialysis is now way out of the reach of many people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who get infections- young people under five years old are more prone as their parents cannot afford antibiotics. It is not unexpected that the death rate will be high. If we are honest with our data, life expectancy will drop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing to the hospital is one thing, diagnosis is another and getting treatment is another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this discussion, we are not talking about the rise of fake drugs in Nigeria and others that are made with lower ingredients. Some of them are just chalk. All these put together, only God knows how Nigerians are surviving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat doctors are suffering now is that you battle with patients who cannot afford drugs due to high prices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou give patients a prescription, and they go and come back two to three days later to tell you that they can\u2019t afford it, asking for a cheaper option.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a patient returns without taking the prescribed drugs two or three days later, what do you expect?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmid the high prices of drugs, some of them are fake. Some are produced with fewer ingredients. You can even verge on the quality of the drug despite the high cost.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should declare an emergency in the health sector. We need to set things right. No matter what we do, if we don\u2019t control the cost of drugs, we will soon have a problem in our hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the government should agree with local pharmaceutical industries to help them facilitate the production of generic types of these drugs. India did it. When anti-HIV drugs became a problem in India, the government gave funding to local manufacturers to produce them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria\u2019s government can do the same, and local pharmaceutical companies do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemove taxation on medical and pharmaceutical equipment so they can be procured and produced generically.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t kill our people because of Patency. Our people should be able to produce locally what they can use locally to care for themselves. That is the fastest solution\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
