THE Pharmacy Council has accredited 11 institutions for the training of medicine counter assistants (MCAS) to enhance comprehensive pharmaceutical service delivery in the country.
So far, six of the institutions have been accredited in the Greater Accra Region and one each in the Ashanti, Western, Volta, Eastern and Northern regions.
They are Pfago Services Limited, Rapha Development Limited, Avenue Chemist Limited, CS Allot Pharmacy, Sene’s Pharmacy, EMEF Training Centre (all in Accra), G-Health Consult in Kumasi, Zunaida Pharmacy in Somanya, Volta Health Consult Limited in Ho, Chamalt Pharmacy in Tamale and Kraspect Ventures in Takoradi.
The Registrar of the Pharmacy Council, Mr Joseph Nyoagbe, announced this at the graduation of 126 newly qualified MCAs from the Volta Health Consult Limited in Ho.
He said so far, a total of 1,642 MCAs had been trained nationwide and had been awarded certificates after passing the Ghana Pharmacy Council Medicine Counter Assistants Examination.
Mr Nyoagbe added that his outfit had joined the sequence of the pharmaceutical service delivery team comprising pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, licensed chemical sellers and MCAs.
He cautioned the MCAs against acting like pharmacists because they were expected to operate only as assistants to the superintendent pharmacists.
The Director of Volta Health Consult Limited, Mr Divine Azameti said it was prudent to train MCAs in view of the need for more professionals to cope with the problem of excess workload due to the National Health Insurance Scheme.
He said it was also in accordance with de-urbanisation of pharmaceutical care delivery in the country and that pharmacists who set up pharmaceutical services were now assured of enough MCAs to work for them in order to reduce the urban movement of the youth.
Mr Azameti appealed to the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) to absorb MCAs into hospitals and health delivery facilities in order to provide services on dispensary duties.
