PROGRESS ON THE REORGANISATION OF LACOR PHAR-
MACY
Thanks to the financial contribution of the Marcelle and
Jean Coutu Foundation, Canadian pharmacists, under the
supervision of the organization Pharmacists Without Borders
(PSF-Canada), have now been working on the reorganization
of the Lacor Pharmacy for a period of two years.
The reorganization has already had an important impact
on the management of pharmacotherapy as well as the
physical reorganization of the warehouses. Additionally,
the Department of Pharmacy has become a training centre
for Ugandan pharmacists.
In order to continue supporting the reorganization, the
Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation has accepted to continue
its financial commitment for another three-year pe-

also contribute to the project’s financing. We are extremely
grateful to the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation and
PSF-Canada for their support with this project.
