Retail Pharmacies are not just any Businesses - The lack of Public Discussion about the Death of Pharmacies (Letter to the Editor)

Retail pharmacies have been declining in regard to physical stores as well as value as perceived by the society. Even in the face of their declination there are little amendments or implementations made to avert this, most have turned out to be ineffectual to the occurrence. Alongside primary healthcare facilities such as hospitals, pharmacies can offer a decentralized healthcare system whereby they can divert some of the healthcare services and assist in the development of an effectual healthcare system. To create an effectual healthcare system former policies have to be altered and new ones which promote quality and affordable healthcare.
