The unrest has left patients desperately in need of their chronic medication. The South African Pharmacy Council says about 120 pharmacies have been targeted in the violence.
This means that many people are now battling to get access to medication that they simply cannot survive without. The council says at least two wholesalers, as well as patients’ medical records, have been destroyed.
“This is a big concern to all of us. I think, the advice to give to the members of the public, never use medicine that does not come from legitimate sources, from a pharmacy, or any of the healthcare professionals,” SA Pharmacy Council CEO Vincent Tlala said.
So we advise against any member of the public being sold such medicines. Whether it be vaccines or ordinary medicines, members of the public, if they come into contact with such they must report it to the authorities.
Tlala said recovered looted medicine should be returned to a pharmacy for proper disposal.
