With B.C. regulatory change, retailer in Surrey aims to streamline the delivery of prescriptions for 21 minor ailments
The Newton location of Shoppers Drug Mart is now home to a Pharmacy Care Clinic, first of seven for the chain in Surrey.
The Shoppers retail chain launched its first Pharmacy Care Clinic in Kelowna last year, and now B.C.'s second such facility is in Surrey, on King George Boulevard at 73 Avenue. "Right now, for every 100,000 residents in Surrey there's only 59 doctors, whereas for the rest of the province for every 100,000 residents there's 112 doctors," said Seehra, who also owns Shoppers in the Panorama area.
Since 2023, the B.C. government says close to 409,000 people have been treated for such ailments or received free contraceptives from pharmacists.
