The improvement of the management of pharmacies in the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Nowadays there are many controversial issues and paradoxes in the pharmaceutical activity of the Republic of Moldova (RM), connected either with the lack of maturity of market or with its already established structure. In this work we tried to express our opinion about the actual situation and propose the alternative model of the development of pharmaceutical industry in RM in the most rational ways, based on the concept “from local to global”. Being in a working process we decided to raise many actual topics which concern the majority of the different social groups connected with the pharmaceutical activity in RM. These groups are: students of faculty Pharmacy, qualified pharmacists, doctors and professors and simple citizens, who face every day with advantages and disadvantages of local pharmacies. Some of the actual topics are: the economic benefits of raising and supporting local drugs’ manufacturers, the gradual introduction of new technologies of organization and management, the rationalization of the whole pharmaceutical industry of RM basing on the models of developed countries, etc. The results of our research were unexpected not at the point of criticism of already established structure of local market, but at the point of a huge will, potential and opportunity to improve the whole system of organization and management of pharmaceutical industry in RM. The selected concept “from local to global” expresses the main idea of this inevitable process - we should realize all the necessary changes step by step, previously providing all the possible ways of the idea’s development. Thus we can forward our desires and powers in the right direction - from starting the improvement in our township, to expansion of its potential results in all the regions of our native land - the Republic of Moldova.
