Despite opening during the height of Australia’s initial COVID-19 outbreak and Queensland’s statewide lockdown, a South Rockhampton pharmacy celebrated its one-year anniversary on Wednesday with free cake and coffee.
The AFS Friendly Pharmacy in Wandal opened its doors on April 16, 2020, a decision AFS Health Services CEO Mark Boyd said was uncharacteristically crucial to its success.
Mr Boyd said, although it was a difficult time, it was a really important time to open a health service and deliver to the local community.
“We opened at a time where access to local health supplies was more crucial than ever,” he said.
