To better protect patients from undesirable side effects of medicines, pharmacists will be more closely involved in Tanzanian clinics. This is the goal of a multi-stakeholder partnership (MSP) launched by action medeor, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim and Merck, which is now entering its second phase. In the first phase, a roundtable was initiated in 2017 for uniform and comprehensive training of pharmaceutical assistants and technicians, to ensure the care of patients in rural areas of Tanzania.
