SANDOZ PHARMA MAKES A GRAND ENTRY INTO THE NIGERIAN MARKET
Sandoz a norvatis company has made a grand entry into the Nigerian market with a variety of FDA approved quality generic brands that have hitherto been available in many western countries including the USA. Sandoz is a Norvatis company which places value on quality and affordability. I believe it is a corporate social responsibility of the parent company Norvatis to deliver new molecules at affordable prices for Nigerians.

Key to prescription drug misuse among young adults is likely peers, but not peer pressure
Current efforts to prevent prescription drug misuse among young adults need to consider peers - but not peer pressure - according to a Purdue University study.
"With the 18-29 age group we may be spending unnecessary effort working a peer pressure angle in prevention and intervention efforts. That does not appear to be an issue for this age group," said study co-author Brian Kelly, a professor of sociology and anthropology who studies drug use and youth cultures. "Rather, we found more subtle components of the peer context as influential. These include peer drug associations, peers as points of drug access, and the motivation to misuse prescription drugs to have pleasant times with friends."
This research, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), was presented at the 109th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association by study co-author Alexandra Marin, a Purdue sociology doctoral student.
Prescription drug misuse has risen considerably during the 21st century and is the most commonly abused substance after alcohol and marijuana for people 14 and older, according to NIDA. Popular prescription drugs that are most frequently misused are sedatives, painkillers, and stimulants.
"People normally think about peer pressure in that peers directly and actively pressure an individual to do what they are doing," said Kelly, who also is director of Purdue's Center for Research on Young People's Health. "This study looks at that form of direct social pressure as well as more indirect forms of social pressure. We find that friends are not actively pressuring them, but it's a desire to have a good time alongside friends that matters."
The findings, collected from 2011-13, are based on survey interviews with 404 adults ages 18 to 29 who misused prescription drugs in the past 90 days. Two-hundred fourteen in-person interviews also were conducted. These individuals were recruited from popular nightlife locations such as bars, clubs, and lounges in New York City. Average misuse of prescription drugs, such as painkillers, sedatives and stimulants, was 38 times in the past 90 days.
This study evaluated the role of peer factors on three prescription drug misuse outcomes: the frequency of misuse; administering drugs in ways other than swallowing, such as sniffing, smoking, and injecting the drugs; and symptoms of dependency on prescription drugs.
"We found that peer drug associations are positively associated with all three outcomes," Kelly said. "If there are high perceived social benefits or low perceived social consequences within the peer network, they are more likely to lead to a greater frequency of misuse, as well as a greater use of non-oral methods of administration and a greater likelihood of displaying symptoms of dependence. The motivation to misuse prescription drugs to have a good time with friends is also associated with all three outcomes. The number of sources of drugs in their peer group also matters, which is notable since sharing prescription drugs is common among these young adults."

THE SUSPENSION OF DOCTORS RESIDENCY PROGRAMME IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS: The Crux
THE SUSPENSION OF DOCTORS RESIDENCY PROGRAMME IN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS.
President Goodluck Jonathan has suspended the residency programme in all federal hospitals in the country. The residency programme trains medical doctors to become specialist and is one of the contentious issues as other health care professional are clamouring for a recognition and institution of a similar programme for them to enable them to be recognised as specialist in the hospitals. This is one of the issues that JOHESU got the federal government to agree to which led to the over one month doctors reprissal strike. By this action Jonathan is saying that health care officials should foot the bill of their training themselves. Another arguement for Jonathan would be the small number of qualified specialists despite the juicy liberties and allowances that accrues to residents while training. there are few specialists in certain areas of medicine. The goverment has probably taken this action in a move toward full privatisation of the health sector as premature it might appear. Ebola virus was in our back yard and no one thought it wise to study it enough to develop vaccines for eventual epidemics as we have at hand. yet we have centres for disease control under the health ministry with staffs drawing mega salaries for nothing but distributing mosquito nets. Jonathan must however take more serious steps and see that his government is proactive and not consistently reactive.
