Pharmaceutical Society issues guidelines to curtail COVID 19 spread

The Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana (PSGH) has issued guidelines to protect pharmacists, pharmacies and the general public from the spread of Covid-19, especially at community pharmacies.

A press statement signed by the president of the Society, Mr Benjamin K. Botwe on Friday (April 24, 2020 ) said community pharmacies are the first port of call for most people seeking healthcare, advice or information, hence the need for robust measures to stem possible spread of the virus to or from that point.

As part of the guidelines, pharmacists and pharmacy staff are to use calming and reassuring language to respond to questions and queries related to COVID-19 and provide relevant educational information where possible.

They are also to ensure that Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) protocols specifically relating to COVID-19 are appropriately displayed in the facility for the information of staff and the general public.

The Society also commended president Akufo- Addo for the various measures being taken to contain the spread of the virus in the country.
