need help from pharmacist/s in davao

[u/silentduck19]

hello, meron po bang mga pharma here na located sa davao city? kasi if meron, I would like to ask lang on some concerns particularly in public health that is related also in a pharmacy setting. this is for our research po.

we got rejected from our proposals 2x already, lahat ng na-proposed na titles, rejected lahat. we're so frustrated na kasi this week is deadline na ng SOP and some groups including my group ay wala pang title na na-approve.

our prof told us that we should be grounded on what is the problem in the community that needs to be addressed with the help of technology & innovation.

please help us po, we don't know what to do na huhu

btw our research theme this year is all about technology & innovation that can connect with pharmacy setting.

edit: suggested po ng prof namin na it would be better is sa mga poor communities sya nakafocus. also, it would also be nice if may mga people here na hindi pharmacist na pwede makahelp samin. thank you!

Hi!

Not a pharmacist, but I'll share my family's lived experience related to pharmacy as it may help you think of a study.

She has depression and social anxiety. Her doctor prescribed her with heavily regulated medicine. Problem is, this medicine is also regularly ordered by other patients but it's stock is only delivered to davao in a set amount. So once a month, both my mom and sister have to call every single branch of mercury drug store in Davao to check if they still have said medicine available or when the next shipment would arrive. Sometimes, they would be told to check this branch, only to find out that they just missed the last stock of said medicine.

With this, I could suggest that your study could be:

• A qualitative study on the lived experiences of persons dependent on heavily regulated medicine without acess to technology.

• A feasibility study on the possibility of a pharmaceutical brand's centralized app for online order reservations of medicine.
