CDU:Chronic Dispensing Unit:
After assessing the needs of the community, we realised that patients are walking long distances to obtain their chronic medication.We stepped in and are now dispensing chronic medication in or-der to ease the traveling distance of patients. In the process we also eased the burden which the day hospitals are carrying in this regard. We currently dis-pense 420 chronic medications per month and this is escalating at a rate of 15%. This is a free service.
