Manage the procurement, storage, dispensing, and control of controlled substances in strict accordance with statutory and institutional requirements, maintaining accurate records and audit trails.

Lead the medication disposal process, coordinating a collaborative once-off disposal exercise with the laboratory and wards (1–2 times per year). Identify, investigate, and implement corrective actions to reduce medication errors, fostering a culture of safety within the pharmacy and wards. Lead the hospital’s annual forecasting and quantification exercise for pharmaceutical and laboratory commodities.

2. Procurement & Quality Assurance Source and order drugs and other pharmaceutical products from approved suppliers, balancing cost-effectiveness with product quality and reliability. Conduct quality assurance and quality control checks on incoming pharmaceutical products to ensure they meet required standards before dispensing.

Participate in ward rounds alongside the medical team, contributing pharmaceutical expertise to patient management decisions.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
