The chairman of the Lagos State branch of PSN, Mr. Oyekunle Babayemi, who expressed disappointment that the decision of Sanwo-Olu to suspend the approved cadre by the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in May 2028, following a fruitful negotiation between the Joint Health Sector Unions and PSN and the State government, said the policy is inevitable in the value chain of healthcare delivery.
In a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Abuja yesterday, Babayemi recalled that “in 2018, the Executive Council of LASG approved consultancy cadre for pharmacists in the public sector but suspended the same benefit package on the promptings of the Nigerian Medical Association. That is the way it still stands till today under the Sanwo-Olu Administration.’’
Babayemi said it was imperative to impress on the progressive Sanwo-Olu-led government that healthcare is driven by international best practices and therefore cannot be restricted to the humongous as well as insatiable appetite to regulate through slowing down the growth and development of other professions by Nigerian physicians.
He spoke at the association’s 2023 annual luncheon, where he explained that, “the consultancy cadre is a reality across the globe from the UK, USA, France and Austria to African countries including Ghana, Sierra Leone, Egypt and South Africa.
