Violation Of Licensing Rules Causes AKI Crisis- Expert
~0.6 mins read
A seasoned medicine expert familiar with The Gambia’s pharmaceutical industry has revealed that a flagrant violation of the condition of pharmacists’ licensing is the cause of the problem the country is facing.
“According to Regulation 2018-51 the license holders (the pharmacists (otherwise called supervisors, should spend four hours minimum each day in the pharmacy trading under their licenses. Now in a situation where a Gambian pharmacist holds and rents three licenses he or she should by law spend 10 hours supervising the pharmacies trading under his or her licenses. But how can they do this when almost all of the same pharmacists are on full-time employment with MCA, Pharmacy Council, Central Medical Stores or public hospitals?” our source queried.
He said in some cases, some of the pharmacists concerned are not even resident in The Gambia as is the case of one of them.
