Stakeholders Laud Establishment Of Drug Distribution Centre

Some residents of Bayelsa
have commended the state government for establishing a central drug distribution centre in the state.
The residents who spoke in Yenagoa last Sunday said the centre would ensure the supply of genuine drugs.
They also called for strict enforcement of drug laws to curtail the menace of fake drugs in the country.
A civil servant, Mr Ebimo Clement, said that the establishment of the centre had led to a new dawn in the state government’s healthcare programme.
Clement said that the measure would improve health services in Bayelsa.
“I heard that the centre will serve as a distribution centre for sellers; I urge the government to sustain the initiative. “We are happy because the involvement of government in distribution of drugs will guarantee the supply of sufficient and genuine drugs,” Clement said.
A teacher, Mrs Jennet Depriye, said that the establishment of the central drug distribution centre would benefit the people, especially the poor masses.
Depriye said that it would enable poor residents to have access to cheap and genuine drugs.
“The drugs will be cheaper than they would have been if they were sourced directly from the open market. “I know that the centre will not only help to checkmate supply of fake drugs in Bayelsa but will contribute immensely to quality health services,” she said.
