By this Definition nurses should be paid the most, end of story

[Genesis @Genesismwanzo1]

Why would a pharmacist intern receive a call allowance of 60k yet have no actual call rota exposure, while a BSc Clinical Officer intern who is actively on call gets 8k?
Is it because of title “Dr” privilege?

@Genesismwanzo1 @J_o_m_b_a @ptason @maroag7 These are only things you say if you have not worked in a pharmacy set up.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@Genesismwanzo1 @J_o_m_b_a @ptason @maroag7 Pharmacists Are on duty 24/7 the pharmacy does not close down btw. We don’t work 8-5 like this Posts assumes, when you guys prescribe new drugs no matter the time of day someone in the pharmacy will go through it and dispense. Ama pharmacies Zenu Ni 8-5?

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@Genesismwanzo1 @ptason @maroag7 I just want to know Kama the pharmacies in the Major hospitals where interns are closed down during nights and Weekends.I assure you Most pharmacy interns do the calls especially night calls. It might different by your Definition but pharmacies function all through .

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

What is the Definition of a Call ? Pharmacist interns do Night calls the Call Roms are inside pharmacies that need to be served 24/7. Infact, they do Files and dispense outpatient medications for the hospitals as one man army you end up barely getting any sleep.

We need to talk about the retail pharmacy ecosystem. You have a professional who spent five to six years studying advanced biochemistry, organic synthesis, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological pathways. They understand the molecular structure of complex monoclonal antibodies.

​And what is their day-to-day reality? Sliding a plastic spatula across a triangular tray, counting out thirty little yellow pills in neat rows of five, dumping them into an amber vial, and slapping a sticker on it that says, "May cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy machinery." The sheer psychological resilience required to possess a doctorate in molecular alchemy while spending your afternoon explaining to someone that, yes, they still have to pay their co-pay for generic laxatives, is honestly staggering.

Unemployed medical officers, how are you surviving juu it's about to be bad
Employed MOs post 2023, how did you land your first job

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@Monty_Hasashi you cannot and dont cover what bpharm does na higher diploma.... hnd ni ya kuspecialize

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

Alafu umalize shule @Monty_Hasashi akuambie alisoma vitu zote zenye pharmacist alisoma 5th year, 3rd year akifanya dip pale kmtc 😭 ama uambiwe all you can do ni ku dispense after doing a degree with 360 units.

A crazy world we live in.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@Monty_Hasashi Sikutafuti I just quoted what you said

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

Not me but if someone has to survive and that is the only way they can do that.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

You See pharmtechs agreeing to give you there certificates to Open a pharmacy with 10 k and think the degree might go irrelevant??Community is there only hope btw..If push comes to shove pharmacists can perform both roles well and also lend there certs for that 10k.

[Idris Idahosa 🇰🇪 & 🇲🇹 @ASuruni]

What were the gaps that made Kenyan government in 2005 to introduce Diploma in either pharmacy/ pharmaceutical technology???
He must have wanted to make bachelor of pharmacy irrelevant !

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@ASuruni Rn each school Training pharmtechs is capped at 20 intaktes per year… we can have it reduced to like 10 to accomodate the increase in bpharm graduates.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

With all the other things, pharmacists are doing how did you conclude bpharm can be made irrelevant.Underemployment of pharmacists is one of the reasons Kenya is not an ml3, we still have to Import things that we have capacity to make. Countries like Ethiopia and TZ have ml3sts.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@ASuruni Regulations Need to be strict. We need to regulate Community more and ensure no quacks are involved. Rn the quacks are many very many. It is unrealistic to have a pharmacist who has waited about 7yrs to get a license to only dispense, we can have the pharmtechs help to dispense.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@ASuruni The roles in industries keep expanding for pharmacists. For us to get to ml3 we have to tighten the enforcements in all areas pharmacy and especially community, wholesale and industry. Community is failing us with how they are run rn.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

The Government does not have an industry they just have to make good policies, Community is the one failing us. We already have lots of pharmacists in industries. Also Lots of them in KEMSA and kemri. Pharmtechs are mostly dispensers Hospitals and Communities Need them.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

@VinordJ @ASuruni It is because they are cheaper nothing else

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

All the drugs you Sell in that pharmacy of yours ( that you keep posting) have a pharmacist with a license who is liable of each drug there, you can also decide to open a Community if you want to. But a dip can only open community after 3yrs of working. Stay Guide.

[PeaceInFragments @InnerNarratives]

You Sound uninformed btw. I seen 2 such tweets, I donno what the end goal is. Bpharm license and diploma have different scopes of practice btw. With a bpharm license you can are allowed to practice pharmacy fully, you can open a wholesale, industry, see next tweet
