Health Centre Pharmacy Solutions

Multi-disciplinary teamworking is more likely to become a reality when the various team players are co-located in modern primary healthcare facilities. But co-location is easier said than done as there are many regulatory and commercial issues which can conspire to frustrate the opening of a pharmacy in a health centre.
