Prof. Charles Ansah has charged citizens to refrain from the misuse and abuse of medications. Most recently, reports on the excessive use and abuse of pain reliever, Tramadol among some youth in the country became an issue of national concern. But Prof Ansah who is also a certified Pharmacist believes Ghana has over the years not fully conducted an extensive research on the use and misuse of medications by persons who seek after them. Kwabena Opuni Frimpong, the former KNUST pro-Vice chancellor pointed that aside the abuse and misuse of pain killers, the same for anti-biotics is of major worry too. Prof. Ansah therefore called on authorities to conduct studies in order to ascertain the level of drug abuse and misuse occurring in the country.
