Patient safety does not begin at the bedside. It begins in manufacturing, quality control, batch release and pharmacovigilance.
Pharmacists are trained to connect product quality with patient outcomes. That bridge matters and must be protected. #Patientsafety
@GershomMuganga So you with your Gash care jelly which you sell to your neighbors and relatives
You think when you start supervising we will stop importing medicine
Do even know what you need to starting a manufacturing plant.
Just continue competing with aunt lususu
Leave pharmacists alone
Pharmacists are uniquely trained at the intersection between chemistry and health care making them professionally and ethically reliable to supervise drug manufacturing
@lanobecker You had a lot of time to compete
Instead of studying you were in non academic engagements and now you actions catching up with you.
You think there is a gap to compete with professionals.
There is a program called HEAC now
Inform your colleagues ๐ค
@osborntushabe Though can they tell us
Who these pharmacy workers are?
Because a pharmacy should have people bound by professional ethics which these people don't have
@osborntushabe My senior
You have actually said what was on my mind
These people make simple sugar syrups and add concoctions of ginger and call themselves innovators. ๐๐๐๐ค
@AmulaAlbert Well done Sir
But a delivery doesn't mean there can't be stock outs
Please note that sometimes NMS may not deliver some items
Also the budget for a facility is small so items are consumed very fast before next cycle.
I understand your but don't misguide communities
Stay Blessed
