…Essential List For Children Will Ensure Appropriate Therapeutic Interventions.

By John Nwokocha, Abuja

Dr. Osagie Ehanire, Minister of Health on Friday in Abuja launched the ‘7th Edition of Nigeria Essential Medicines List’ and ‘1st Edition of Nigeria Essential Medicines List for Children.’

The Minister while launching the two publications which he described in the ‘Foreword’ to the publications as “veritable tool in the healthcare delivery system which forms the fulcrum for the treatment of various medical conditions prevalent in the country,”  added that the publications are the ‘Nigeria Essential Medicines List for Adults’ (7th Edition, 2020) and ‘Nigeria Essential Medicines List for Children’ (1st Edition, 2020).

The 7th Edition of the ‘Nigeria Essential Medicines List for Adults’ is “the outcome of several deliberations and consultations by various experts and stakeholders in the healthcare delivery system.”

According to Ehanire, the Expert Therapeutic Groups of the National Drug Formulary (NDF)/Essential Drug List (EDL) Committee “have meticulously evaluated the safety, efficacy, quality, as well as the cost effectiveness of new medicines incorporated into this seventh edition for the treatment of various clinical conditions.

He disclosed that of the ‘Nigeria Essential Medicines List for Children’ (NEMLc, 1st Edition, 2020), the NDF/EDL developed the maiden edition of the list for Children in line with the UN Commission on Life-saving Commodities (UNCoLSC) which advocates for the need to pay special attention to the health of children and women as special populations.”

The Minister also said that the development of the essential list for children will ensure the appropriate therapeutic interventions to children as envisaged by the 2007 Model List of Essential Medicines for Children by WHO.

Ehanire  in a statement by Olujimi Oyetomi, Director, Public Relations in the health ministry based his strength on the WHO submission and wrote that the publication contains “list of safe medicines for children up to 12 years of age; the most cost-effective options for key health problems and are useable with the little additional health resources.”

The event was organized by the Food and Drug Services Department of the ministry in collaboration with Development partners.

Representing the minister at the launch of the publications, was Dr OmobolanleOlowu, Director for Public Private Partnership/Diaspora Unit of Federal Ministry of Health.  Also present was Prof Ambrose Isahwho, immediate past Chairman of NDF/EDL Review Committee.

Dr. KazadiMulombo, Walter the Head of Mission and Representative of the World Health Organization Nigeriawho was represented said that “The first edition of the WHO Model Essential Medicines List was released in 1977 with 208 individual medicines. Essential medicines are those that satisfy the priority health care needs of the population. They are selected with due regard to disease prevalence and public health relevance, evidence of clinical efficacy and safety, and comparative costs and cost-effectiveness.”

Walter added that “The model is intended to guide the development of national and institutional essential medicine lists which reflects the national disease profile.”He commended and congratulated the Honorable Minister of Health and his team for sustaining this lofty idea and on the launch of the 7th edition of the Nigeria Essential Medicine List for Adults and the Maiden edition of the Nigeria Essential Medicine List for Children” and remarked that “The WHO Model Essential Medicine List is evolving from just being a list but to a more robust tool that provide technical guidance in the rational use of medicine. The latest edition, Dr. Walter said, includes the AWaRe Classification of Antibiotics to groups of Access, Watch and Reservesto emphasize the importance of their optimal uses and potential for antimicrobial resistance.”

On its part, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria Foundation (PSNF) stated that “Today’s event is indeed significant, as it brings to fore the aspiration of the FMoH especially the Department of Food & Drugs Services and indeed the government of Nigeria in strengthening the supply chain and providing quality medicines for Nigerians.”The provision and availability of medicines, the Society said,“can only be guaranteed by the appropriate selection of medicines needed by the populationas the government through its policies expands access to healthcare.”

“It is gratifying that attention was focused on the inclusion of innovative medicines like Depot MedroxyProgesterone Acetate Sub-Cutaneous (DMPA-SC) which encourages Self Care and gives women of child bearing age the power to make informed choices through a varied contraceptive mix. Furthermore, the development of the maiden edition of the NEMLc is a testament to the fact that the vulnerable, particularly children, are of top priority in the agenda of the government.

As a formidable partner, the PSNF through the PACFaH and PAS projects has supported the Ministry and the department in numerous ways: Notable is the strengthening of the Treatment Guidelines from 2014 till date. We are confident that this cordial relationship will continue to wax stronger and beyond the present.”  PSNF said.

    You can bet on NFL games at every single online sportsbook due to the popularity of pro football. However, you should use our sportsbook reviews section to find safe, reliable, trustworthy sportsbooks and avoid the shady operators found on our blacklist. Competitive odds are a must for anyone looking at Texas betting apps. Line shopping is a term you should become familiar with, and it means checking out the odds at different operators before you wager. Why back the Dallas Cowboys at -110 when you can get them +120 at other Texas sportsbook apps? Some operators will compile odds in-house, and some will import them from consultancy companies, so there can be a range of odds available across different sports and markets.  Falcons 24, Panthers 10 His points are actually … well, spot on. While no one is sitting here wanting more underage kids to gamble, the policing of it in today’s digital world falls firmly on the parents’ shoulders, not the sportsbooks, if only because there is no way for FanDuel to actually know who is hitting “place bet” short of … what? Fingerprints? Facial recognition?

  540. I recently tested a few social media content calendar tools (you can check out my tests here), and I can’t recommend them enough. They were all extremely easy to use, and the time-saving benefits are a worthwhile investment for any social media marketer looking to optimize their process and save time.

  541. Make every drive an adventure with this high-performance SUV. Blending athletic design with everyday usability, there’s a lot to like. Or if you’re feeling extra ambitious, why not take things up a notch with the RS Q3 Sportback? It sits lower down than the standard version and adds some much-loved coupé-like styling, particularly along the roof area. Finally, the RSQ3 and RSQ3 Sportback feature Audi’s legendary 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo donk, which develops a meaty 294kW of power and 480Nm of torque. original price : 79,950 Plans also call for additional Neue Klasse models in the future. That’s fancy-speak for what’s essentially a black appearance package, thus creating the 2023 Audi RS Q3 Edition 10 Years. On the outside, the special model gets black 21-inch double-spoke wheels, shod with 225 35-series tires. There’s more black for the door and window trim, side mirrors, the diffuser insert, blades on the front spoiler, and Audi badging is also finished in glossy black. The LED headlights are darkened slightly, and it all contrasts with a choice of exterior two color choices – Dew Silver or Chronos Gray metallic, the latter of which is exclusive to the Edition 10 Years.
