Pharmacists' Syndicate: Medicine Is Not a Commodity
The article discusses the refusal of Jordanian Pharmacists Syndicate President Zaid Al-Kilani to allow the delivery of medications through current electronic applications and platforms. He emphasized that such a service requires an integrated system to ensure medication tracking, knowledge of the patient who received it, and safety in dispensing. He clarified that medications are subject to regulatory controls that include inspection before reaching the market, proper storage, and transportation, and should only be delivered by a pharmacist in a pharmacy. He also pointed out that delivering medications necessitates an electronic medication tracking system and a health record for the patient to enable verification of prescriptions and patient details electronically. The presence of a qualified pharmacist is essential to provide consultation and ensure the suitability of the treatment. Al-Kilani warned against unlicensed applications that deliver medications without safety standards, noting that the laws of the Pharmaceutical Authority impose strict conditions on transportation and storage processes. The syndicate currently refuses to allow medication delivery through applications that do not meet these necessary requirements, calling for the shutdown of any violating platforms and accountability for those responsible. Additionally, they stressed the need for professional pharmacist supervision for any health-related service to guarantee patient safety.
