| مستخلص: | Patent and proprietary medicine vendors in Nigeria play a very integral role in providing primary health care services and are an important source of care for the poor. They are located close to communities and are often the first source of care for hygiene and family planning (FP) products and treatment of child illnesses. Since 2017, Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN) has partnered with Society for Family Health through the IntegratE project to address the poor quality of services by patent and proprietary medicine vendors (PPMVs) and reposition them for better service delivery through piloting the three-tier accreditation system. The partnership has engendered innovation for human resource for health, and considering the peculiarity of their situation, new emerging methods and arrangements to deliver the training to PPMVs in diverse geographical locations within their catchment areas are developed. In this study, we aimed to discuss the role of patent and proprietary medicine vendors in the provision of quality health delivery and provide key lessons and recommendations which have been learned from the pilot scaling of training facilities for PPMVs in Nigeria through the IntegratE project. From the lessons learnt, we propose that, for a successful scale-up of implementation of the three-tier accreditation of PPMVs, PCN will have to establish a budget line for accreditation. In addition, the government should also consider supporting this training through the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund as a way of strengthening human resources at the primary healthcare level. Other alternative sources of funding include licensing and registration fees and other dues generated internally by PCN. (© 2024. The Author(s).) |
