The Local Health Unit (ULS) Viseu Dão-Lafões is reinforcing the distribution of medications, expanding dispensing through community pharmacies. This measure aims to facilitate patients' access to prescribed medications, avoiding unnecessary trips to health units.
The initiative covers medications that were usually collected at hospital pharmacies or at ULS health units. With this expansion, patients can now pick up their medication at community pharmacies, closer to their homes.
This measure is part of a strategy of proximity to patients, allowing greater convenience in accessing treatments. ULS Viseu Dão-Lafões intends in this way to reduce waiting times and facilitate the daily lives of patients who need chronic or ongoing medication.
