NAFDAC Partners With CSOs To Effect Drug Monitoring

 
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it is partnering relevant organisations and civil society groups to strengthen its drug monitoring mechanism across Nigeria.

NAFDAC Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Professor Samson Adebayo, said the agency had also opened six zonal offices to make monitoring activities effective at states level.
He made the disclosure on Wednesday while representing the Director General of NAFDAC at a media chat in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
Professor Adebayo appealed to medical practitioners and patients to report any adverse reactions from medications to the agency, to enable it follow up on the efficacy of such medicines.
