The need for governments at all levels to as a matter of urgency create an enabling environment for medical professionals spread across the country to strive, has become a source of concern to medical experts in Taraba state.

The experts who came together to commemorate World Patient Day said it is high time for the governments to create a safe and enabling environment for them to excel in their profession.

The gathering which our correspondent noticed to have been organized by the Centre for Initiative and Development (CFID) which was geared towards enlightening the public on patient rights, brought together medical doctors, pharmacists, nurses and lab scientists among others.

Speaking, the President, World Hepatitis Alliance(WHA), Dr Danjuma Adda, noted that unsafe medical practices and medication errors are leading causes of injury and avoidable in health care systems across the globe.

Adda who doubled as the Chief Executive Officer of CFID believed that patients should always be at the center of the activities being carried out by health experts in their various hospitals stating that “every patient has the right to know the type of treatment you are administering to them.”

Beckoning to health workers to always give patients the much-desired attention, he believed that ” every person around the world will at some point in their life take medication to prevent or treat illness.”

Unsafe errors, according to him, “occurred when weak medication systems and human factors such as fatigue, poor environmental conditions or staff shortage affect the safety of the medication use process” hence the need for the right peg to be in the right hole has become necessary.

Urging them to ensure that patients and their families are actively involved in the safe use of medications, the need for them to increase the accuracy of identifying patients, he said, has also become relevant.

He said “we need to educate patients to know their rights and privileges” adding that “let them understand some of the key things they need to know.”

In their various submissions, the health experts, especially the nurses, identified the shortage of manpower as the major cause of fatigue among medical experts.

While calling on the government to endeavour to employ more hands, most of the experts who bared out their minds at the gathering said the management of their hospitals had put in place mechanisms to checkmate the activities of personnel who derived joy in handling their jobs with kid gloves.

They were also noticed to have beckoned at patients to always endeavour to interact freely with their doctors at any given time.
