What is the focus of the Guam Pharmaceutical Association?

The Guam Pharmaceutical Association primarily focuses on advocating for pharmacists and promoting standards in pharmacy practice. This involves working to ensure that pharmacists are recognized as vital healthcare providers and that they have the resources and legislative support necessary to practice effectively. Through advocacy, the association aims to influence policy decisions that affect pharmacy practices and address issues such as medication safety, access to pharmacy services, and professional development for pharmacists.

By promoting high practice standards, the association plays a crucial role in enhancing patient care and the overall health of the community. This is in contrast to financial advice, regulatory control over drug prices, or limiting the number of pharmacies in the area, which do not align with the core mission of a professional association dedicated to the advancement of the pharmacy profession.
