Pharmacy’s global transformation is pharma’s opportunity

March 15, 2017

Pharmacy’s role is expanding from supply chain to primary care, from intermediary and retailer to expert advisor in health and wellness. From the developing nations of India and China to more-developed markets like the UK, this evolution is accelerating, with Pharmacists poised to emerge as primarycare interventionists amidst a confluence of health providers. In developing markets such as Egypt, international collaboration has enabled new initiatives to enhance the contribution of Pharmacies to improve health metrics (see Figure 1). In hyper-developed markets like Australia and Canada, Pharmacy is also reflecting a shift from illness to wellness, fueled by health awareness, technology, and health empowerment, and is establishing itself as a one-stop health-and-wellness destination.
