Kwara Hospitals Regain Accreditation as Internship Training Centres for Pharmacists
The Kwara State Hospitals Management Board announced on Sunday that it has successfully regained re-accreditation from the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN), enabling seven of the state's hospital facilities to serve as internship training centres for graduate pharmacists.
These facilities had lost their accreditation 20 years ago, but with the approval and full backing of Governor Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in 2024, the board was able to achieve this milestone. According to a statement issued by the board's Press Secretary, Adamu Usman, on Sunday, no fewer than seven state hospital pharmacy departments have now secured PCN accreditation to operate as training centres for newly qualified pharmacists.
The accredited facilities include according to the statement included: General Hospital Patigi, General Hospital Offa, Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Civil Service Hospital.
Others are ?Aisha Buhari Mother & Child Hospital, Sobi Specialist Hospital, Ilorin, ?Children's Specialist Hospital and ?Kwara State Essential Drugs Project.
The statement quoted Dr. Abdulraheem Malik, the executive secretary of the board, as saying, “It was a long and tedious process that involved the PCN sending an accreditation team to Kwara state to inspect the proposed facilities. We are very happy we succeeded and Kwara state can resume the training of intern pharmacists from all schools of pharmacy in Nigeria that it lost 2 decades ago.”
He stated that, processing has also commenced to secure accreditations to begin the training of intern nurses and medical laboratory scientists.
