Running a pharmacy in Gqeberha involves more than just counting tablets. Linton Grange manages the cold chain for temperature-sensitive medications, coordinates with medical aid systems on point-of-sale claims, and handles the regulatory paperwork that keeps operations compliant with health standards. Pharmacists here work with local GPs and specialists to clarify prescriptions, compound medications when off-the-shelf options don't fit a patient's needs, and stock a range of over-the-counter products for common ailments. The work requires staying current with medication interactions, managing inventory so essential medicines are always available, and dealing with the realities of supply chain logistics in the Eastern Cape.
