#512016-01-15 07:56Sick and tired of unfair medical aid practises. We are after all highly trained professionals and deserve to make a decent living while also being able to give excellent service to the public. |

#522016-01-15 08:18I am working in a community pharmacy and would like to buy the pharmacy but are not sure if the future for this pharmacy are good because of what is happening now? |
Guest |
#532016-01-15 08:24It's a very real issue that needs to be dealt with. The future of independant pharmacy is at stake. In the long run the public will also suffer. |

#542016-01-15 08:53If this carries on, the patient won't be able to discuss their meds with a professional anymore. It will put more pressure on doctors to manage patients meds. Why is it that we as pharmacists in SA are seen as second grade professionals, as to the rest of the world where the importance of a pharmacist is paramount. Someone high up needs to understand the actual role of a pharmacist. We are not just pill counters. |

#582016-01-15 14:23pharmacy dispensing fees are too low to be able to give a good service. we cannot afford to employ more pharmacists |
Guest |
#592016-01-15 14:41because it is the correct and just thing to do. the sapc has to support us- it wont exist without us |
Guest |
#602016-01-15 17:22I just hate to the fact that medical schemes want to penalise me as a pharmacist for drug substitution which is within the scope of practise of my profession that I earned. |

#612016-01-15 17:50Sick and tired of unfair practices against pharmacists....we are qualified to help with medical problems in a country like South Africa where not everybody is covered by medical aid , but our hands are tied by regulations and medical aid mafias...the biggest problem start with medical aids and to favour Dischem, Clicks, Medirite and we could go on.....what a pity of a career messed up with greedy people!! We as pharmacists ,have a better knowledge of Pharmacology than nursing staff,yet they can dispense S4 and what not else!!! DISGUSTING!! |
Guest |
#622016-01-15 18:13because SAPC is a nil on contract for pharmacist and we pay them to stay alive and its time that we all STOP servicing medical funders and let their "customers" pay us and try and claim from them so they can handle these billions of stupid arguments themselves..Its the most legal corrupt system EVER available anywhere |

#662016-01-15 20:47This issue should have been taken up many years ago as Section 22G provides for the maximum fee a pharmacist may charge, whilst the MSA provides for Medical Schemes to contract DSPs. However the MSA provide for contracting DSPs in an era before Medicine Price Regulations came into effect. This shiuld have been considered as the fuspensing fee is the legislated health professional fee. |
Guest |
#672016-01-15 21:18Because its a very critical issue that needs urgent action.let the truth be known that medical aids have been the destruction of the independent pharmacies who are by and large are struggling to survive. |
Guest |
#682016-01-15 22:55Am annoyed by the way medical aid schemes bully the pharmacy profession with the SAPC keeping silent about it. The forced acceptance of inferior products (disguised as generics) by the laity because of ignorance is almost criminal, the untold anxiety and inconvenience suffered because of postal dispensaries |
Guest |
#692016-01-16 03:00MEDICAL AID PRICES ARE VERY RIDICULOUS.DEY ARE NOT PAYING ENOUGH FOR COSTLY MEDICINES THAT WE DISPENSE.THERE IS NO PROFT AT ALL.WHAT IS THE USE OF BUYING MEDICINES SOOOOO EXPENSIVE AND NOT BE ADEQUATELY REIMBURSED FOR THEM? I AM CONSIDERING NOT TO TAKE MEDICAL AIDS ANYMORE! |
Guest |
#722016-01-16 08:06I'm sick of medical aids running the health industry and forcing people to go where the m/aid benefit most |
