Utilizing private pharmacies for self-care products and services
Many self-care initiatives require the provision of products from a trained individual who can answer questions the end-user has, making private pharmacies an ideal delivery channel. The fact that they have longer operational hours, less waiting times as well as trained pharmacy providers makes them a preferred channel for many audiences. This panel will look at how to determine whether private pharmacies are more likely to increase access to self- care initiatives; the potential of and lessons learned in working with pharmacies; and a comparison between private pharmacies’ clientele’s demographic and outcomes and those accessing self-care in public sector settings.
