VILLAGE PHARMACY Now Open 24/7, 365 Days A Year Not only is Umhlanga Medisport Pharmacy run professionally and personally by pharmacist David Fraser and his qualified team 365 days of the year, the pharmacy exceeds on its ethos of delivering outstanding health and wellness in the community. Speaking with David, it’s evident that his passion is keeping the pharmacy current and looking for different ways to serve the community. Hence, his latest offering – a pharmacist available afterhours, 24 hours a day, every day! Not only is the pharmacy available 24/7, 365 days a year, the real wow is the unique secure, afterhours “hole in the door”, where those needing to see a qualified pharmacist can interact directly with one anytime of the night. Simply ring the buzzer and the pharmacist will come to the door window. You can speak directly to the pharmacist via the external microphone, and get and pay for any medication through the transaction window without setting a foot inside the pharmacy. While it’s a sizeable investment from a business point of view, David believes this new proposition aligns perfectly with his boutique pharmacy and will extend the pharmacy’s reach in Ballito, Durban and neighbouring areas. – Kate Hoare FOR MORE INFO: 084 690 6560/ 031 561 1227; Protea Mall, Chartwell Drive; www.umhlangamedisport.co.za; david@universalhealth.co.za
