Three retail pharmacies in the Guizhou Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone recently passed their inspections and were officially licensed by the Guiyang municipal bureau of market supervision, becoming the first batch of such service stations in the Shuanglong zone.
These community pharmacy service stations are primarily established based on retail pharmacies with a foundation in pharmaceutical services. They offer standardized pharmaceutical services such as guidance on rational drug use and equipment, lectures on safe medication practices, traditional Chinese medicine grinding, and the collection of expired medications for the surrounding residents.
Residents encountering issues related to medications, medical devices and more can seek professional answers and assistance at their closest community pharmacy service station.
In consideration of those facing mobility challenges such as the elderly, critically ill patients, pregnant women, and other special groups, the community pharmacy service stations also provide door-to-door delivery services for over-the-counter non-prescription medications.
The establishment of community pharmacy service stations will provide residents in the area with "one-stop" pharmaceutical services, better ensuring the rational use of medications and equipment, promoting healthy living, and further enhancing residents' well-being.
