It was announced that a free mask will be distributed to citizens within the scope of Corona virus measures. First of all, the masks, which are said to be sent by cargo via e-PTT, started to be distributed by pharmacies with SMS passwords sent from the Ministry of Health after the increasing demand.
MASK REPORT WRITTEN
Due to the various problems experienced in the first days of the application, many citizens could not reach the masks. Turkish Pharmacists’ Association compiled the problems experienced all over the country and created a mask report. The preparation process of the report is about to be completed. After the report is completed, it will be forwarded to the Ministry of Health next week.
NO MASK IN THE HIGH RISK GROUP
Speaking to Sozcu.com.tr regarding the issue, President of the Turkish Pharmacists Association Erdogan Colak stated that the distribution of the mask was a positive decision: We are pleased that the masks are given to our people free of charge and that the product, which is a medical mask, does not come out of the pharmacy.
We, the pharmacists, have assumed an important public duty in this process. As far as we learn from those reflected in the field, there are those in high risk groups such as cancer patients, dialysis patients who cannot reach the mask.
SPECIAL REPORT PREPARED
President Çolak stated that they prepared a report on mask problems and said, “There are those who live in different provinces. On the other hand, there are unresolved situations about how non-citizens, immigrants and refugees, or people who are not currently in residence, can access the mask. These need to be resolved as soon as possible. As the Turkish Pharmacists Association, we are in the process of preparing a report on these issues. We will complete our report quickly and forward it to the Ministry of Health. ” said.
DISTRIBUTION MONDAY TO START IN ANTALYA
Antalya Chamber of Pharmacists President Mehmet Ertekin stated that they will start mask distribution from Monday and they are working on the solution of the problems. We heard that there were some technical problems in the provinces that distributed mask before.
I guess it also allows us to change the phone number on our Ministry’s interactive page. We haven’t reached that stage yet. Today, mask discounts are made to our warehouses. It will be delivered to our pharmacies on Monday.
Currently, we can get answers from Istanbul and Ankara. Recent infrastructure works are underway to prevent all of them. So the citizen may not have a phone. This will also be prevented. So someone who doesn’t have a phone will write my phone and come to me. We will not experience the disruptions experienced by Istanbul and Ankara, ”he said.
WHO HAVE THE TELEPHONE LINE ON OTHERS…
It was learned that there are similar problems in Bursa. A study has been initiated for those who have a telephone line in Bursa. The citizen, who cannot get a mask, will go to the pharmacy and give his identity information.
The pharmacist will be able to get his mask by entering the system. Recent studies about the system are being done. Shortly after the new system is expected to enter all the applications in question in Turkey.
