Why is it important?
Medicines to be effective require appropriate storage, packaging. Further adequate labelling for appropriate use.
Perspectives
The free medicines issued in public sector had the worst packaging and labelling. However it was interesting to find that people understood how to take the medications as they trust the care givers and will adhere to instructions.
