Ghanaian pharmacists are unhappy with their counterparts in the medical profession.
The pharmacists have complained against medical doctors and other medical professionals for usurping their role of prescribing drugs to patients in the provison of treatment.
According to the pharmacists, the role of the medical doctor is to diagnose ailments while the pharmacist prescribes the drugs. But they said the doctors have taken over that role by prescribing drugs, thereby reducing pharmacists to mere dispensers of drugs.
The complaint was made at the annual conference of pharmacists in Accra.
The pharmacists were emphatic as they said that the action of the medical doctors inhibits the development of their profession and that has become one of the key reasons why pharmacists migrate abroad.
