Fighting disease one pill at a time
MASERU-WITH the Covid-19 pandemic wreaking havoc across the country, Dr ’Maseabata Ramathebane wants the government to consider utilising pharmacies registered with the Lesotho Medical, Dental and Pharmacy Council (LMDPC) to ease pressure.
“More people would have been tested if we were to get Covid-19 rapid tests done in retail pharmacies, and we would have accurate statistics as a country,” Dr Ramathebane says.
“At the moment, people die before they receive their PCR Covid-19 results, and this does not help the situation, as funerals have become super-spreaders of Covid-19,” she says.
“It will really help to know how many people are infected with the disease, and also at a personal level so that one can take responsibility of self-isolation and also receive help on time.”
