PLSG PROCURES ANTI-SNAKE VENOM, HIV/SYPHILIS TEST KITS, OTHER COMMODITIES


The Plateau State Government, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has launched a major health intervention with the distribution of Free Anti-Snake Venom (ASV) – EchiTAbG, alongside HIV and Syphilis test kits, to healthcare facilities across the state.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong, described the initiative as a crucial milestone in the fight against life-threatening diseases and snakebite cases in Plateau State. He stated that the intervention will empower healthcare providers to offer timely and effective treatment to citizens in need. Dr. Baamlong reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving the well-being of the people, expressing gratitude to the Governor for his continuous investment in the health sector.

He further disclosed that, in addition to the HIV and Syphilis test kits, His Excellency has approved the procurement and distribution of Anti-Snake Venom to further strengthen clinical response across health facilities.

This groundbreaking intervention underscores the Governor’s unwavering dedication to expanding healthcare access, reducing preventable deaths, and protecting vulnerable communities, especially those in snakebite prone areas. For many years, the high cost of Anti-Snake Venom has placed a significant burden on affected communities,making this free provision is truly trans-formative development for the state.

The Director General of the Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (DMCMA), Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot, expressed profound appreciation to the Governor for this strategic investment in public health. He assured that the Agency is fully prepared to ensure proper storage, efficient distribution, and strict accountability for all ASV-EchiTAbG supplies across designated healthcare centres.

Pharm. Bot also commended the Plateau State Ministry of Health, led by Dr. Baamlong, for its dedication and effective coordination, noting that their efforts have been instrumental in the success of the initiative.

The public is encouraged to continue praying and supporting the advancement of the state’s healthcare sector, as the “Time Is Now” administration continues to implement impactful reforms for the well-being of all Plateau citizens, and fully set for the launch of the campaign.

PS-DMCMA Hosts Codix Pharmaceuticals

The Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) welcomed Codix Pharma Nigeria Ltd for a presentation on advanced healthcare and diagnostic technologies.

Mr. Henry Chukwudi, who led the presentation, highlighted Codix Pharma’s commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery systems across Nigeria. He explained that the company has established the first diagnostic manufacturing plant in Sub-Saharan Africa, and recently launched another factory, the first in West Africa, dedicated to the production of diagnostic kits such as HIV and malaria test kits.
Mr. Chukwudi introduced the Global A1c Device, a multifunctional analyzer capable of running over 54 different parameters, including glucose, HbA1c, profile testing, and other critical diagnostics.

He praised the Plateau State DMA for being the first agency to approve and deploy this innovative device in its health facilities. He noted that this demonstrates the state government’s readiness to embrace innovation in point-of-care testing, particularly for diabetes management.

He emphasized the importance of HbA1c testing, explaining that it is crucial in identifying diabetic patients and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment over time. Codix Pharma has already deployed the devices in several health facilities across the state and conducted training for healthcare workers to ensure proper use.

Mr. Chukwudi further presented the HD Red Meter, a handheld device capable of providing PCV and HB results in just three seconds. He noted that this technology is particularly beneficial for emergency cases, pregnant women, children, and rural areas with limited electricity supply, as the device is battery-powered.

The device has been thoroughly validated by the MLCM body of Nigeria and recorded 99.7% sensitivity and 99.9% specificity. It is also certified by KFDA and NAFDAC.

Codix Pharma assured the Agency that all their devices come with lifetime support and maintenance at no additional cost. Any faulty device or batch with errors can be returned through the DMA and will be replaced immediately.

Mr. Chukwudi stressed the importance of proper usage of diagnostic kits. He shared an example from Adamawa State where incorrect HIV test results were traced to improper handling and reagent application. Corrective training by Codix resolved the issue and ensured accurate testing thereafter.

Codix Pharma also provides additional diagnostic kits including HDV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C test kits, as well as the F200 and F400 multi-system analyzers, which offer over 54 parameters and can serve as backup systems for larger equipment in tertiary and secondary facilities.

As part of its support to the state, Codix Pharma announced the donation of one multi-system analyzer to the Plateau State DMA.

A representative of the Plateau State Primary Health Care Board, Mrs. Julie Rotji, appreciated Codix Pharma for the enlightening presentation, noting that rapid diagnostic tests serve as a critical entry point for early care and treatment, especially at the primary healthcare level where community access is essential.

Speaking on behalf of the Director-General of the Agency, Pharm. Lenka Nanman thanked Codix Pharma for their continuous support to healthcare delivery on the Plateau. He also expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor, His Excellency Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, for his steadfast commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of the people of Plateau State.

PS-DMCMA Welcomes AIDS Prevention Initiative In Nigeria

The Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) has welcomed the AIDS Prevention Initiative in Nigeria (APIN) on a courtesy visit aimed at strengthening collaboration and promoting service integration across health facilities in the state.

Speaking during the visit, Dr. Solomon Wekpe, Head of Department, commended the Director-General of the Agency for the significant progress made in improving service delivery within the health sector. He noted that Plateau State has been proactive and accommodating, striving to be a pacesetter in the implementation of health programmes.

Dr. Wekpe emphasized that the integration of health services was long overdue, explaining that many facilities across the state have been trained and activated as treatment centres. “The number of facilities has grown from 57 cumulatively to over 500, which shows the great opportunities we have, especially in local government areas such as Kwall (Kanke), Wase, Dirok, Langtang South, and Riyom. Today, we are present in all 17 LGAs,” he stated.

He further highlighted the Agency’s efforts in capacity building. “Over the years, we have trained healthcare workers and key stakeholders. Last year, we selected stakeholders across the state and trained them in Ogun State on health financing — from the level of commissioners downward. Capacity building is not restricted to ministry staff alone; facility staff have also benefited from our training programmes. In September, for instance, we trained two batches under APIN, with 105 participants in each batch,” he explained.

Dr. Wekpe also shared that during a recent supervisory visit by the state’s HIV implementation team, it was discovered that those previously trained were now leading key activities. He expressed confidence that the integration initiative would succeed, acknowledging the Plateau State Government and the Commissioner for Health for their continued reforms in the health sector.

He added that the integration process aims to establish a single drug chain logistics system, relying on the Drug Management Agency (DMA) to ensure efficient distribution and accountability.

In his remarks, Mr. Ekeke Victor from APIN’s Strategic Health Department appreciated the DG for his leadership and integrity. He stressed that service integration goes beyond merging workforces or facilities — it focuses on improving the quality of services delivered. He cited an example of an HIV patient who experiences stigma when directed to a separate section within a hospital. “This is what integration seeks to eliminate. The goal is ownership and sustainability,” he said, noting that the issue of service integration had been extensively discussed at the State Council.

Dr. Sa’adatu also emphasized the importance of forming a Technical Working Group comprising key stakeholders from various agencies, including the DMA, to drive the integration process. She stated that the 40 trained facilities under the programme should be fully absorbed into the state’s health system for sustainability. “We are here to partner with the government in driving this process, and by God’s grace, all state facilities will be integrated,” she added.

In his response, Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot, Director-General of the DMCMA, welcomed the APIN team and assured them that their collaboration would yield meaningful results. He appreciated his management team for their commitment to the agency’s success, affirming that APIN remains a valued partner.

He said, “This advocacy and the plans you have initiated are timely. Integration will provide a platform for efficient case management, easy access to data, and effective monitoring of drug reactions and medicine use. With the introduction of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) components, we are opening our eyes to new realities, and as an agency, we are ready to provide the necessary support.”

The DG also mentioned that the agency’s warehouse is well equipped to handle large volumes of commodities, noting the recent launch of an innovative Public Health Chain Management Distribution Hub designed to ensure faster delivery of commodities directly from Lagos to Jos.

“Integration is the way forward. As an agency, we are ready to empower our staff, sustain capacity, and work closely with APIN to achieve perfection through partnership,” he said.

Pharm. Lengka Nanman Musa, in his remarks, appreciated APIN for their continued support and expressed gratitude to the Executive Governor of Plateau State, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, and the Honourable Commissioner for Health for their unwavering commitment to the state’s health sector.

Also speaking, Mr. Cyril James Fwanshak, Acting Director of Warehousing and Logistics, thanked Dr. Solomon Wekpe for his humility and dedication, describing him as a patient leader who always guides his team with diligence.

PS-DMCMA DG Receives Youth Group

The Director General (DG) of the Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA), Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot, received members of the Tarok Progressive Youth Association (TAPYA) who were on a courtesy visit to his office.

The DG described the visit and interaction with the youth as “one of the best engagements I’ve had this morning,” expressing gratitude to the PYC/TAPYA for their initiative and for prioritizing health concerns affecting the Tarok nation.

Speaking earlier, Mr. Miri Timnan Nyantau, Chairman of the PYC/TAPYA, conveyed greetings from the Tarok Traditional Council. He emphasized that the Tarok people rely heavily on the Agency for access to essential medicines/commodities.

He highlighted two critical health challenges facing the Tarok nation. These include snakebite envenomation and hepatitis B infection.

Mr. Nyantau appealed to the agency to ensure greater availability of anti-snake venom in Langtang North, Langtang South, and Wase Local Government Areas, noting that these areas record the highest number of snakebite cases in Plateau State.
He lamented that the scarcity and high cost of anti-snake venom have led to avoidable deaths, as most victims cannot afford treatment.

He further appealed for improved access to hepatitis B vaccines, explaining that the disease continues to affect many, particularly the youth, and has serious socioeconomic implications for the Tarok people especially the youth.

Adding his voice, Mr. Kumswa Julfa Domzhin, a member of the PYC/TAPYA, reiterated that snakebites have become a major public health concern in Tarok land. He called on the Agency to consider involving private health facilities in Langtang North, Langtang South, and Wase in training and storage of anti-snake venom, stressing that collaboration between public and private sectors would significantly improve outcomes.

Responding, Pharm. Kim thanked the delegation for their visit and described their appeal as timely. He revealed that the state had already initiated plans for the establishment of an Anti-Snake Venom and Response Centre, following deliberations at the 64th Council of Health Meeting.

He explained that a memorandum had been submitted and approved, with key stakeholders, including the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr Nicholas Baamlong, the Permanent Secretary, the Chief Medical Director of the Hospital Management Board, and the Executive Secretary of the Primary Health Care Board - all working together to advance the project.

The DG disclosed that research conducted on local plant species revealed that Tarok land is uniquely endowed and blessed with snake species whose venom could be harnessed for local anti-venom production.
He added that efforts are ongoing on to expand the research team for venom extraction and indigenous vaccine development.

The DG commended His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, Executive Governor of Plateau State, for his commitment to local manufacturing of vaccines, intravenous fluids, and essential medicines. He noted that the Governor had already constituted an Inter-Ministerial Committee comprising representatives from the Ministries of Budget and Planning, Finance, and Justice, to ensure the success of the local manufacturing initiative.

The DG further disclosed that the Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (DMA) currently manages the distribution of anti-snake venom vaccines procured by the State Government. He confirmed that the Governor had fully paid for the vaccines and directed that they be subsidized for public access.

Pharm Kim also revealed that the Agency had recently deployed hepatitis B test kits to General Hospitals in Langtang and Mabudi, to get them at DMA and are affordable reducing the cost of testing.
He added that discussions were ongoing with the Global Fund and the U.S. Embassy to provide GeneXpert machines to Langtang and other parts of the local government area for improved diagnostic capacity in those regions.

The DG assured the delegation that the Plateau State Government remains committed to ensuring availability, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare commodities for all citizens.

He also disclosed that the State Government was in talks with vaccine manufacturers to procure typhoid and cholera vaccines, adding that while the cholera vaccine is currently in its final clinical trial phase, the typhoid vaccine will be available and would soon be deployed across the state.

On training and capacity building, Dr. Nicholas Baamlong, Honourable Commissioner for Health, noted that the Ministry had commenced plans for comprehensive training on snakebite management, not only for doctors but also for pharmacists, to improve knowledge of medication storage, logistics, and local production,and also trained nurses on how to watch out for patients who are on admission in terms of complications processes.

Mr. Dafam Dorker David, a medical practitioner from Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH), commended the DG for his leadership and pledged support for the proposed training initiatives.

Also speaking, Mr. Napoleon Nanzin, Secretary of the Tarok Progressive Youth Association, expressed gratitude to Governor Caleb Mutfwang for including the Tarok people in his administration. He thanked the DG for his openness and leadership, assuring him of the Association’s continued support and prayers for wisdom in steering the affairs of the Agency.

MALNUTRITION: GOVT. FLAGS OFF DISTRIBUTION OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT

The Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA) has commenced the first batch of nutritional distribution of health care commodities across all 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state, marking a significant milestone in the administration’s efforts to strengthen child health and nutrition.

The initiative represents the last-mile delivery of Small Quantity Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (SQLNS) — a preventive nutritional intervention designed for children aged 6 to 23 months. These supplements aim to prevent malnutrition among children during their critical growth and development stages.

While emphasizing that the intervention is preventive and not a treatment for malnutrition, the Director General of PS-DMCMA, Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot explained that preventing malnutrition is far more sustainable and cost-effective than treating it.

“These commodities are completely free of charge and can be accessed at any government-owned health facility across Plateau State,” Pharm. Kim stated.

“We remain deeply grateful to His Excellency, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, for his unwavering commitment to improving healthcare delivery and his approval for the procurement and distribution of these vital supplements.”

The DG reaffirmed the agency's commitment to ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the management and distribution of health commodities. According to him, it will continue to collaborate with development partners, local governments, and community health workers to ensure that these supplements reach every eligible child in Plateau State.

To ensure widespread access, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang approved the procurement of 5,392 cartons of SQLNS to be distributed to healthcare facilities across the 17 LGAs. This initiative aligns with the state government’s broader agenda to improve nutritional indices, strengthen primary healthcare systems, and promote the well-being of children and mothers across Plateau State.

Cancer Foundation Seeks Collaboration with PS-DMCMA

The Georgel Cancer Foundation paid a courtesy visit to the Plateau State Drugs and Medical Commodities Management Agency (PS-DMCMA). This visit is strategic as it aims to foster collaboration between civil society and government in tackling the rising cancer burden across the state.

During the meeting, Mrs. Retsum George, founder, and CEO of Georgel Cancer Foundation, expressed grave concern over the increasing cancer mortality rate in Plateau State, which she attributes to limited public awareness, inadequate access to early detection services, and the prohibitive cost of cancer treatment.

“Too many lives are being lost to cancer simply because people do not have access to timely information, screening, or affordable care,” Mrs. George stated. “We believe that partnerships like this are key to changing outcomes for cancer patients.”

As part of its advocacy efforts, the Foundation is urging the government to subsidize essential cancer medications, aiming to reduce the financial burden on patients and significantly improve survival rates.

Responding to the Foundation’s call, Pharm. Kim Jerry Bot, Director-General of PS-DMCMA, commended the organization’s dedication to public health and cancer awareness.
He emphasized the importance of preventive healthcare and encouraged citizens to adopt healthier lifestyles.

“With over 100 million cancer cases recorded globally, it’s clear that prevention and early intervention must be top priorities,” Pharm. Kim said. “We urge our people to consume natural foods and go for regular medical checkups.”

The DG also spoke of His Excellency, Barr Caleb Manasseh Mutfwangś robust strides in healthcare delivery, since assuming office as Executive Governor. He revealed the agency’s plans to explore local manufacturing of medical commodities, a move aimed at enhancing access to affordable, high-quality healthcare services throughout Plateau State.

The partnership between the Georgel Cancer Foundation and PS-DMCMA would mark a significant step toward building a more responsive healthcare system and addressing the growing challenge of cancer in the state.
