This collective backing underscores a shared vision for a future where pharmacists are empowered to deliver even greater levels of care and service.
Delving into the specifics, the agreement focuses on enhancing the role of pharmacists in primary healthcare, expanding the scope of professional services, and ensuring the financial sustainability of the community pharmacy sector.
