Overview

I play an important role when it comes to relief efforts within disaster regions as I am able to help in reducing disease transmission, ensuring proper use of antibiotics and also in educating the patients and the public. Regarding the reduction of disease transmission, I involved myself in the process of decision making in the disaster region. I keep myself knowledgeable in terms of quality control in any settings (e.g. refugee camps) when it comes to medications to ensure proper health standards and also safety measures. In addition to the use of antibiotics, the optimal use of microbial agents is extremely important to prevent the emergence of more antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This is extremely crucial especially in refugee camps as time is of the essence during disaster aid, the effectiveness of the drug must be ensured to prevent potential adverse drug reactions in order to reduce the number of casualties’ .Besides that, I play an important role in educating the patients and the public. Reducing contamination and infection in a refugee camp is important because the victims are more susceptible to infections due to a lack of nutrients and also trauma. I prevent transmission of infection and also decontamination of products. I receive donated medicines from International donors and maintain stock
along with dispensing. Under my supervision 8 assistant Pharmacists perform their duties. I directly work in collaboration with the donors’ like- UNHCR, UNICEF, ECHO & WHO. They audit Pharmacy at a regular interval of time and I provide them with the monthly consumption reports on medicines.
