Pharmacy pickup errands in Kenya
Collect sealed medicines only with explicit customer and pharmacy authorization.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional pickup PHM-07 concerns one sealed, patient-authorised package that a licensed pharmacy has already dispensed and approved for ordinary local transport. The customer pays the pharmacy directly; the errand fee covers one collection and one named-recipient handover. Job-card fields are pharmacy order reference, collection contact, recipient, approved alternate, pharmacy instructions and return contact. Drug names and diagnoses are not displayed on the runner's route sheet. This offer excludes selecting medicines, counselling, prescription interpretation, controlled products, emergency treatment and refrigerated or otherwise specialised transport. The pharmacist must decide whether this particular order can use the service.
Who is the first customer?
