Antibiotics should be classified as controlled drugs in Ghana. The rampant misuse and indiscriminate access to antibiotics are contributing to antimicrobial resistance.
Making them controlled drugs could help curb abuse, promote responsible use, and preserve their effectiveness for future generations. We need to act now!
After all is said and done, we all have to come together as a society and push for the enforcement of a sex offenders list. Ghana is soo due for one omgggg🤦🏽♀️.
No serious healthcare professional claims doctors are incompetent because medication errors exist.
Medicine is practiced by humans in complex systems, and every global health body including the WHO acknowledges medication errors as a major patient safety issue.
Pharmacists intervening on prescriptions is not evidence of “poorly trained doctors”…it is evidence of a functioning multidisciplinary healthcare system with safety checks.
And yes, pharmacists can make dispensing errors too. The difference is that modern healthcare is intentionally built with overlapping layers of protection so one professional can catch another’s oversight before harm reaches the patient. The difference is that intellectually honest professionals understand that modern healthcare was intentionally designed with redundancy because human cognition is fallible regardless of rank or title.
Doctors intercept pharmacist errors.
Pharmacists intercept prescribing errors.
Nurses intercept administration errors.
That is not professional rivalry. That is patient safety architecture.
Also, medication therapy is hardly “minuscule” in patient management when most modern treatment outcomes heavily depend on safe, effective, and appropriate medicine use.
The irony is that the most clinically dangerous practitioner is rarely the one who acknowledges the possibility of error. It is usually the one who believes their training has rendered them immune to it.
Please don’t miss lectures next time. May your evening be good !🤝

Sometimes I have to remind myself that worry is a sign of weakened faith. God has never failed me before. If I’ve been carried through yesterday, why should I fear today, or doubt God’s plans for tomorrow? When I’m stressed or worried, I ask myself “what about your faith?”.
