The government has taken an initiative to set up ‘model pharmacies’ across the country, aiming to stop the sale of counterfeit, fake and substandard medicines, which are a threat to the public health.
Each divisional headquarters, district and upazila will have the model pharmacies to be set with technical assistance from Accredited Drug Seller project of the US-based Management Science for Health (MSH).
According to an official document obtained by The New Nation, a process is underway to make a monogram for this ‘model pharmacy’, which will be divided in two categories-Level-1 and Level-2 — considering its size, type and activities.
The Level-1 pharmacy will be conducted by Grade-A pharmacists while the Level-2 pharmacy will be run by Grade-B and C pharmacists.
There will be separate counselling sections for the mass people to give them correct idea about the medicines and its usage apart from purchasing medicines from these model pharmacies across the country.
MSH, a global health nonprofit organization, uses proven approaches developed over 40 years to help leaders, health managers, and communities and developing nations build stronger health systems for having greater health impacts.
