What I earn currently as a headmistress can barely feed me nor sort out Bukola’s school expenses in a month, let alone afford the cost of my medications. I save with a cooperative monthly but it is just for me to pay our yearly house rent. If I do not eat, I cannot use drugs. These were the exact words of Mrs Adelakun.
As of 2023, there was about a 300 percent rise in the cost of pharmaceutical products due to the increased cost of importing raw materials, alongside naira depreciation, dollar scarcity, high import duties, and rising petrol and diesel prices. With this rise in medications, the average Nigerian could get overwhelmed.
Out-of-pocket costs for essential medications skyrocket as pharmaceutical companies exit Nigeria, leaving millions uninsured and vulnerable. Common antibiotics and prescriptions become luxuries, threatening lives. But amidst this crisis, Welladirect emerges as a beacon of hope.
