Yes I love to see this and I’m here for it. The Healthcare needs team members and Pharmacists are easily accessible and very willing to facilitate not just dispensing of medicines but educate patients on medication use and safety.We advise on the use of medical devices and can help manage medication therapy. We are here to listen guide and empower the public. You may find us in the “back” but we are not backward. During Covid while many entities remained shut or inaccessible we were there on the line with you every step of the way. If all Pharmacies/Dispensaries close just for one day the Hospitals will be overwhelmed.
