Pharmacists will have a bigger role in Nova Scotia. Sheldon talks to the CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia, who's feeling optimistic.
HALIFAX, N.S. — It’s been more than a decade since the Nova Scotia government has made it possible for pharmacists in the province to be more active in delivering primary health care. But there are still people who don’t know about all of the services that are available to them. And there are also people who can’t afford to access those services because they aren’t covered by the province. Opposition politicians are calling for that to change.
