The Association of Patent and Proprietary Medicine Dealers, APPMED, has warned that the majority of Nigerian families are experiencing devastating effects due to malaria infection. During a public awareness campaign on malaria in Lagos, APPMED President, Comrade Kubiat Akpan, highlighted this concerning issue. Speaking to DAILY POST, Akpan explained that medicine dealers are witnessing the devastating impact of malaria on families every day as they are at the forefront of healthcare delivery in every ward and local government across Nigeria.
Malaria, he stressed, is a public health challenge that requires collective action from all sections of society. He urged individuals, groups, and organizations to support the fight against malaria in order to reduce its prevalence to the lowest possible level. Akpan pledged that association members would continue their efforts to tackle malaria prevalence nationwide, stating, "As medicine dealers on the frontlines of healthcare delivery across every ward and local government in Nigeria, we see the devastating impact of malaria on families every single day.
When we align community health practitioners with the passion of our youth, malaria will have no hiding place in Nigeria."
