Hospital pharmacies distribute ARV
08 Feb 2017
The Assistant Minister of Health and Wellness, Mr Dikgang Makgalemele says dispensing of Anti-Retro Viral (ARV) drugs is done in mainstream hospital pharmacies wherever space allows in an effort to integrate services.
Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday, Mr Makgalemele explained that since mainstream pharmacies are congested at Princess Marina and Nyangabgwe referral hospitals, ARV drugs in those facilities are dispensed at Infectious Diseases Control Centres (IDCC).
Francistown South MP, Mr Wynter Mmolotsi had asked whether the ministry would consider dispensing ARVs at mainstream hospital pharmacies instead of IDCC. ENDS
