When Public Hospital Pharmacies Respond to Patient Demands
When public hospital pharmacies start responding to patient demands for medication and provide them with the basic medications prescribed by public hospital doctors, Tunisians will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and realize that the anti-corruption battle within hospital institutions has finally begun on a permanent basis.
The President of the Republic has directly addressed the corruption that is plaguing the public sector by identifying, during his meeting with the Minister of Health, the flaws that have been affecting the healthcare sector for nearly fifty years and have deteriorated even further during the last decade. These flaws have multiplied to the point where Tunisians, especially those in rural areas, are nostalgic for the dispensaries where the main medication was aspirin.
A New Era with the Digital Revolution
Today, with the digital revolution and the transformation of the Central Pharmacy of Tunisia, which has finally been freed from its debts and empty deposits thanks to the particular attention given to it by the Head of State, we can affirm that in the future, medication thieves will have nothing to gain, the scanners acquired for hundreds of thousands of dinars will function normally, and the intermediaries working for Tunisian and foreign lobbies will no longer be able to satisfy their clients.
A Collective Battle
However, the digital revolution launched by the President of the Republic, whose implementation has been entrusted to one of the best national and international competencies in the field, must be seen as a collective battle that not only concerns public hospitals and their staff but also the average citizen, whose adherence to this national effort is highly necessary.
A Right and a Duty
Simply because their contribution to the success of this war is both an absolute right to access quality medicine and a sacred duty that they have the obligation to assume in order to preserve and strengthen the image of our public hospital in the Maghreb, Africa, and the world. Despite what all the detractors and doubters may say.
The President's efforts to tackle corruption in the public sector, particularly in the healthcare system, are a step in the right direction. The digitization of the Central Pharmacy of Tunisia and the acquisition of new equipment are expected to improve the availability of medications and reduce corruption. However, the success of this effort depends on the collective participation of all citizens, who must be aware of their rights and duties in accessing quality healthcare. By working together, Tunisians can build a better healthcare system and restore the reputation of their public hospitals.
