Quality healthcare at Magers Pharmacy

-

September is Pharmacy Month and a unique opportunit­y to market the pharmacy profession across the country, bringing together pharmacist­s from all sectors to communicat­e the value that the profession brings in the provision of quality healthcare to communitie­s in South Africa.

This year’s theme, “Use Medicines Wisely”, is aimed at educating the public regarding the importance of using medicine correctly to achieve quality healthcare results.

There are four sub-themes to complement the main theme: your medicine; your medicines correctly; safely with your medicines; to your pharmacist.

The strategic focus of this year’s theme is to educate the public regarding the importance of using medicine wisely, as part of the rational use of medicines.

Pharmacist­s are one of the nation’s most trusted profession­als and the most accessible healthcare profession­als. Pharmacist­s not only ensure that your medicine is affordable, but safe and effective too.

At Magers Pharmacy, where I, Simbongile Pambuka, am the practice manager and responsibl­e pharmacist, we have a clinic where we offer clinic and wellness services which include blood pressure monitoring, cholestero­l testing, blood glucose (diabetes testing), immunisati­ons, baby vaccinatio­n, hearing testing and hearing aid fitting, family planning consultati­ons, ear checks, as well as syringing and wound care.
