E-DRUG: Prescribing and dispensing in one hand? (4)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

In Fiji, general practitioners do dispense drugs from their clinic.
That is when there is no retail chemist staged on that area.
It is sad to see some of the unethical practise that GP's perform in relation to some of the medicine they dispense from their clinic.
Currently our regulatory board are looking at formulating a standard list for drugs that they have to dispense and to be available at their clinic.
