Radio and TV stations should be careful as regards to who they bring in as health professionals when discussing health matters. I think a radio station in Enugu (Dream FM) made such mistake (if verified) during their discussion on World Diabetes Day 2021, when they brought in/introduced someone as a Pharmacist when the person is not a Pharmacist, and they kept calling the person a Pharmacist till the end of the programme. That someone has a “chemist store” or sells drugs or markets drug or is a representative of a Pharmaceutical company doesn’t make the person a Pharmacist.

This is just an example of publicity accorded quacks in our nation. Most radio stations engaged pseudo health practitioners in ‘health talks’ where quackery is advertised and promoted yet our regulatory agencies seem not to hear or able to put an end to this.

From the report, it apparent EBS has been in this business of misinformation of Edo State residents for a while by repeatedly granting this quack interviews. It may be necessary to formally notify NBC of this unprofessional conduct.
