GUEST – Jackie Maimin - CEO of Independent Community Pharmacy Association of South Africa
Independent pharmacies have won their seven-year battle against JSE-listed health and beauty retailer Clicks over its ownership of both pharmacies and a drug manufacturer, after the Constitutional Court ruled the company had contravened regulations to the Pharmacy Act.
The regulation stipulates that a person or corporate entity that owns or has a beneficial interest in a dispensing pharmacy may not also have an interest in a manufacturing pharmacy.
