Not everyone behind the counter is a Pharmacist. 🧑⚕️
Here are 3 facts to know before your next visit to the pharmacy in Kenya:
1️⃣ Clarity: A Pharmacist is a specific professional registered by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. If you need expert advice, ask specifically for the Pharmacist.
2️⃣ Safety: We are your last line of defense. We catch dangerous drug interactions and dosage errors before they reach you. That 2-minute chat could save your life.
3️⃣ Trust: We hold a university degree and undergo rigorous training. We aren't just sellers; we are your partners in health. 🇰🇪
Know your Pharmacist. Trust your health.

The general assumption in community pharmacy is that anyone in a pharmacy can prescribe medicine. Au contraire,only a licensed #Pharmacist has the full training to review your prescription for safety.
Verify before you buy.
@PSofKenya@ppbkenya#HakikishaNiPharmacist#GreenCross
We call upon the @ppbkenya to investigate the matter thoroughly, verify compliance of the outlet with licensing requirements, and reinforce patient safety standards across all pharmacy premises.
We remain committed to advancing professional standards.

We confirm that the individual featured in the footage is NOT a licensed pharmacist and is NOT a member of PSK.
It is important to correct public and media mischaracterisation that refers to every person working in a pharmacy setting as a “Pharmacist.”

“We cannot continue to be ruled like this; by sick people. By mad people. Liars and thieves and criminals. These are the people who are in power in Kenya.” - @Juliuskamau21#RutoMustGo
We can't continue like this, where three-quarters of the MPs can't even sleep in their homes & are now living in hotels. Most can't visit their constituents bcs people are fed up. They are no longer true representatives of the people. It's time to dissolve Parliament.
