THERE ARE LOT OF PHARMACIES IN AND AROUND MONROVIA AND ITS SURROUNDING WITHOUT LEGITIMATE PHARMACISTS OR CERTIFIED PHARMACY TECHNICIANS. TO BECOME A PHARMACIST, IT TAKES SEVENS YEARS OF SCHOOLING AND LIBERIA LACK PHARMACISTS. PHARMACISTS ARE RESPECTABLE INDIVIDUALS IN THE WORLD AND THEY EARNED PRETTY CLOSED TO NINTY EIGHT THOUSAND US DOLLARS PER YEAR IN THE WESTERN WORLD. LIBERIANS BOTH OLD AND YOUNG ARE IN NEED OF MEDICAL BENEFITS TO HELP SAFE GUIDE OUR DECLING POPULATION. LIBERIA IS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT MANUFACTURE DRUG/MEDICATION,SO WHERE IS THE MEDICATION THAT IS RUINING THE STREETS AND SUB-STANDARD PHARMACIES COME FROM? THERE ARE THOUSAND OF MEDICATION ERRORS THAT LEAD TO DEATH IN LIBERIA DUE TO THE LACK OF KNOWDLEDGEABLE PHARMACISTS AND CERTIFIED PHARMARY TECHNICIANS. NOT ANY INDIVIDUAL CAN DISPENSED MEDICATION,ONE HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL FOR THAT; OUR PEOPLE NEED SYMPOSIUM/SEMINARS THAT WILL EDUCATION THE MASSES CONCERNING THE USED OF MEDICATION AND ITS SIDE EFFECTS AND EXPIRATION DATE. THERE ARE LOT OF SUB-STANDARD MEDICATION IN LIBERIA AND GOVERNMENT, HEALTH MINISTRY, THE BOARD OF PHARMACY HAVE A HUGE TASK ON HAND TO ERADICATE THIS OLD AGE PROBLEM THAT CONTINUED TO PLAGUE OUR NATION. |
