@CityTshwane there is a blocked sewage pipe in 475 Dawn road, Lynnwood. The blocked drain is causing flooding in our office building as the rain water cannot drain

#PharmacyMonth2024 The theme for this year’s campaign is: “Let’s Talk About Vaccines” based on the conviction that improving vaccination coverage and promoting a life-course approach to vaccination are global imperatives to which pharmacists can greatly contribute. – at Pretoria, South Africa

And that is a wrap for the #FIP2023Congress academic programme. Closing dinner tonight and then the count down to #CapeTown for #FIP2024 starts. @FIP_org
Interesting concept from a hospital based in China. Staff are encouraged to report any prescribing related errors, risks or near miss situations. Recive monetary incentives for reporting & no punishment for the health care worker who made the error. #FIP2023
This has led to a 14 times reduction in prescribing errors over the years #FIP2023
And @FIP_org Council meeting has started. I'm so excited to be here for #FIPworldcongress in #Brisbane
This truly is sad news. Dominique was an amazing pharmacist with unending passion for the pharmacy profession. We had some spirited conversations while on a game drive here in SA in March 2023, what a privilege it was!!
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our president Dominique Jordan today, following a period of ill health: bit.ly/44mkV4l
A really informative morning so far!!!
Happening Now: @HealthZA NDoH is engaging with Civil Society Sectors in JHB to discuss the role of civil society in implementing the National Health Insurance and the TB Recovery Plan, with the aim to enhance their contribution.
Congratulations to our colleagues in the USA, but just shocking that South Africa the country with the highest #HIV burden is still behind on this due to greed by some. #PIMART #HIV #PEP #PrEP
🎉Congrats to @RIpharmacists @MelissaMurrayRI & @GovDanMcKee on the passage of legislation that grants pharmacists the authority to prescribe HIV PrEP/PEP! It's a significant step forward in expanding access to vital preventive care. Kudos to all involved! #ForPharmacy #TwitteRx

SA is running behind on its 95-95-95 targets for HIV. The goal is to get 95% of people with HIV diagnosed, 95% of those diagnosed onto #ARVs, and 95% of people on treatment should be virally suppressed
