Scientists threaten strike over pharmacist-only clause in Drug Bill. Clause 31 of the Bill, limits the responsibility of supervising all manufacturing of drugs and health products to only a pharmacist bit.ly/4vwo54z #MonitorUpdates

The whole nation wonders the kind of people you are! You are very embarrassing!
There is nothing like toxicological and clinical specification. Revise your drug development process. Pharmacists have unique knowledge of preformulation processes, formulation studies, and clinical studies. They know how the formulated product will behave in one's body.

Pharmacist society of Uganda is only interested in helping its members earn even when they are not doing anything.

The good thing is that non pharmacists are the ones who mostly contribute to Uganda's pharmaceutical research and development and they make up majority of the workforce. His H.E @KagutaMuseveni understands this and let's hope he will reject the bill.

Exactly
I don't know how else we need to unblack-box these people. I think it is dangerous when selfishness and greed control you!
All you think of are those licenses you use to earn money without doing any work to support the industrialization agenda of the country.
Very absurd

Who heads quality and production units at global pharmaceutical companies and what are their education qualifications?
The NDHPA 2025 needs to be revised to suit qualified persons

1. @AbiazRwamwiri, asserting a “Pharmacist-only” rule for the Qualified Person contradicts @WHO TRS 961 & EU Directive 2001/83/EC. Global standards recognize Biology, Chemistry, & Medicine as core disciplines for batch certification. QC is multidisciplinary, not a monopoly.

I don’t earn anything from lies; that list you shared has an overall supervisor who is a Pharmacist! HE @KagutaMuseveni has severally met experts from both @WHO and African Medicines Agency, he knows these facts! Time for politics ended, Uganda must do the right thing! No one is saying other qualified persons won’t be involved but must be supervised by the right person and for medicines, that person is a pharmacist!

Add pharmaceutical mathematics!
They are lucky they have members on the Parliamentary Committee who were able to defend before the minister, where other pharmaceutical professionals were not represented! History will remember this treason!

Does China and UK seem unwise to you to consider other pharmaceutical professionals other than Pharmacists? Countries that are far developed and at Maturity Level 3 that our phamacist-only Uganda, is striving for!
Boss,there is what we call minimum requirements. If he meets them,no issue! The clause is setting basic minimum requirement.

#RejectClause31: NDHPA Bill
China, UK and even Rwanda, all at Maturity level 3, are not unwise to consider other pharmaceutical professionals other than pharmacists, for the supervisory role in drug manufacture.

Even Educators were shocked! Any one that can foresee the negative implications of that Clause 31 and how globally undermining it is, would advise the same. Thank you teachers of Uganda. Because you are, the Nation is!

The sponsors behind the omission of Pharmaceutical professionals other than pharmacists are not myopic, no! Ring fencing goals, and greed overpowered the need to do what is right

Why are Ugandans' lives taken for granted? Why is the Bill silent about experience?
"Qualified Personnel" is the global standard terminology to use because it encompasses both qualifications & minimum industrial experience required for one to supervise drug manufacture.

Clause 31 of the NDHPA Bill, 2025 is also very silent about experience. Why are Ugandans taken for granted?
We as scientists in the pharmaceutical sector, we strongly reject clause 31
May H.E @KagutaMuseveni kindly intervene

ATTENTION ‼️
#REJECTCLAUSE31 OF THE NATIONAL DRUG AND HEALTH PRODUCTS BILL, 2025.
It undermines multidisciplinary practice, EAC guidelines and @WHO global standards. Very silent on a key competence need, "Experience"

1. The NDHPA Bill 2025 is indeed about Public Interest. However, "Public Interest" is best served by competence, not exclusivity. By restricting drug manufacturing supervision to a single profession, we risk bottlenecking the very innovation Uganda needs to thrive. #NDHPABill

This National Drug and Public Health Authority Bill has been discussed widely; from holding stakeholder consultations at NDA, Attorney General’s Office and First Parliamentary Council and intensively by the Parliamentary Committee on Health (by the way that committee of parliament is chaired by a medical doctor and has competent medical professionals). Several stakeholders gave their views but also the global best practices as guided by WHO were put in consideration! Your good position was looked into and what would work was considered and what was not appropriate was left out! No one is reinventing the wheel here but streamlining the sector that is so critical to our survival as a society!
There comes a time when right has to be done, this bill isn’t about Pharmacists or anyone but the Public Interest. The sector will need everyone but it must be guided and led by the right people! This is a global practice, we love to refer to progressing countries but we shy away from paying the price to get there! We are going to breakdown this document page by page as soon as the president signs it into law!
