Description
South Australias government is expanding its 24/7 pharmacy network, adding three new locations in Adelaide Hills, western suburbs, and north-eastern suburbs. This initiative aims to reduce hospital congestion by providing round-the-clock access to medications, advice, and urgent care. Since the first pharmacy opened in February 2024, over 600,000 people have utilized the service, with nearly 250,000 prescriptions filled and over 22,000 calls handled by pharmacists. The state is also investing in pharmacist training to diagnose and treat common issues, further enhancing the role of pharmacies as frontline healthcare providers.
