Hi everyone,
I need to learn more about the significant differences between pharmacy practice in developing countries and that of developed nations.
Regards,
In Fiji, which can be categorized as developing countries the availability of particular drugs in restricted. Often diseases are treated with pain killers (usually panadol) rather with drugs that are specific for the disease (I came across several cases where infections, e.g. a cut of the finger which was infected, was treated with pain killers rather antibiotics.
A positive aspect of this is that waste of drugs and high costs of treatment is avoided; often people wouldn't be able to afford the drugs that are specific for treating diseases they have.
