These are positive numbers that emerge from the examination of the first month of testing of the ‘service pharmacy’ which in Basilicata sees 130 pharmacies participating in both provinces. The results come from the 75 facilities where services relating to cardiac and blood pressure holter, electrocardiogram and spirometry were requested, the total numbers of which stood at 350 services.

For the President of Federfarma Potenza Carlo Claps, “the investments made by pharmacies to adapt their spaces to the new services are repaid in terms of utility towards the users who are guaranteed services for which the waiting times in public structures are quite dilated while on the other hand it is necessary to guarantee rapid monitoring to safeguard the health and life of the patient. In full compliance with Ministerial Decree 77/2022, the Lucanian pharmacies act as a true outpost of the national and regional Health Service, contributing to the development of local assistance which is recognized as having a fundamental role in assisting the citizen user in a widespread way, as the pharmacies present in every municipality and representing a widespread system of assistance”. With the combination of pharmacies and telemedicine, better integration with the national healthcare system is guaranteed, contributing to a more coordinated management of care shared with general practitioners and specialists. Which is why – adds Claps – “the success of the pharmacy services and telemedicine also depends on the continuous training of staff which allows pharmacists to acquire skills in the digital and telemedical field which are added to the knowledge in pharmacology and health consultancy. All these factors put together allow pharmacies to significantly improve access to care and patients’ life expectancies.”
