Being a non-heal...Thanks for the kind words Leonie. Being a non-health professional but a keen observer of public health policies and health conditions, this is the least that I can do -- to write and provide as much information that I can gather to my readers. And to emphasize the real role of civil society, which is citizen empowerment towards self reliance and more volunteerism, not towards more dependence on government subsidies and intervention.Bienvenido Oplas Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799756132761366267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17839575.post-43580213679640225482012-09-05T07:20:16.914+08:002012-09-05T07:20:16.914+08:0059AHi Nonoy!
Thank you for this post, yes the acti...59AHi Nonoy!<br />Thank you for this post, yes the activity on that night was really very good and I agree with the 2 speakers on several points. The PPhA had always been in a position to improve the use of medicines and be responsible while in the use of it. Once again, emphasis was placed not only on the prices but on the medicines quality and responsible use and everyone has his role to play. The PPhA, with its limited resources but with officers and some members equipped with a wide experience on this, is doing its share of the responsibility to promote rational and responsible use of medicines. We need to work together to let the public know that while a medicine may heal the people's ailments, it can also harm that one using it but be responsible enough to seek the proper advise from authorities of it, the health professionals especially the Pharmacists who are widely distributed and available in the community setting.The model, Indonesia, Anita was giving as an example is an initiative I am familiar with as this was presented in FIP and I had the chance to talk to the project proponent. It SUCCEEDS because it is stongly supported by the government. I am positive now that we will get the same support from our DOH. More can be done and the private sector is ready and available to work with and support the government too. Let us therefore all work together in a COLLABORATIVE manner if we want something different especially in the patients' health outcomes, to happen.Again thank you for always upodating people with your blog.Leonie Ocamponoreply@blogger.com
