Jacinta’s story

Jacinta is a pharmacist who entered the health profession because she always had a passion for medical studies. Unfortunately, she could not tolerate the sight of blood so she became a pharmacist. She loves her job very much.

In most low income countries, hospital pharmacies must also manage logistics. Hospitals often experience drug stock outs and patients are forced to try other hospitals that are usually far away. During the decades of conflict, Lacor Hospital had to organize the complex logistics of procuring drugs from the few suppliers located 300km away in the capital, which had difficulties in procuring drugs themselves and refused to travel long distances for delivery in war zones.
