Today, September 25th is celebrated as World Pharmacist Day and Pharmacists all of the country gave back to the community through patient consultations. We found out more about what was done today:
Samira Gongora, Drug Inspector, Pharmacy Department
"Well today which is actually pharmacy day we are having a brown bag day at all public health facilities where the pharmacists will be doing consultations. The public is invited to bring out all the medication they had or have had and the pharmacist will assess it to see what is viable, what is still good and what doesn't need to be taken again and they will also be doing a continuing education to the patients that are waiting to see the doctor today."
"On Thursday and Friday of this week we will be having a team building workshop for all public pharmacists where they will be distressing and expressing whatever issue they have and so as a group we can build as a team."
There are 100 registered public pharmacists in the county. The theme for this year's day is "Belizean Pharmacists improving the contribution to health and wellness in communities."
