The synergy between Chemistry and Pharmacy and its impact on the advancement in drugs cannot be over emphasized. This is because it plays a key role in the chemistry of pharmaceutical research and drug synthesis and production among other things.
TVC News Kemi Balogun reports that this and other key issues were at the front burner of discussions at the 12th Mandatory Continuing Programme Development organised by the Chartered Institute of Chemists of Nigeria.
Drug production requires the services of chemists and so there is need for chemistry and pharmacy to work together to develop effective pharmaceutical research in Nigeria.
Speakers at this gathering want an increase in the relevance of chemistry in enhancing health care delivery in Nigeria. This also comes at a time when the country’s war on fake drugs is taking centre stage.
The aim of the capacity workshop is to appreciate the roles played by various branches of chemistry in pharmaceutical research, drug synthesis
and production.
Creating a sustainable working relationship between the institute and the pharmacists in Nigeria gives room for better innovations in drug production.
By bringing together research and innovation pharmaceutical research and development for health care delivery will go a long way in ensuring
stronger drug relations in Nigeria.
