Festac Town in Lagos State was agog last week as the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN) held their annual conference - the 41st National Annual Scientific Conference Tagged ‘Ajumose Eko 2022’ with the theme: Never Waste a Crisis: Community Pharmacists Learning for Future Preparedness.

In his speech during the opening ceremonies, the National Chairman of the Association, Prince Pharmacist. Adewale Oladigbolu FPSN gladly welcomed participants to the one-in town conference which holds a great and promising potential for all.

While thanking all present with high sense of humility and responsibility on behalf of the National Executive for the opportunity to serve, he assured to pilot the affairs of the Association under his watch, as he and his team have resolved to remain resolute and committed to strive to justify the huge mandate given to them and promising to do beyond all expectations.

The distinguished Pharmacist further went ahead to harp on his achievement so far barely 10 months in office, which are quite outstanding and worthwhile milestone of accomplishments.

First on his list was in the area of collaboration with New Heights Pharmaceuticals and solely sponsored by them. The Association produced and distributed documentation tool kits for Community Pharmacists across the Country. These kits include: Prescription Pad, a Referral Pad and a booklet on the interpretation of Laboratory parameters.

Second; ACPN was well represented at the steering committee of the Federal Ministry of Health task- shifting and task-sharing (TSTS )policy review. On this account, the chairman went further to recognise and praise the efforts of the PSN foundation and Society for Family Health (SFH), in securing grants that made the review of this policy possible. One of the quick gains of that initiative is the proposed adoption of Community Pharmacists as providers of vaccination services; the diagnosis and classification of High Blood pressure, and the initiation of Anti hypertensives; Point of Care Testing (POCT).
