About This Section

Pharmacy officers are frontline sentinels in disease surveillance. Presumptive reporting means notifying health authorities about suspected cases or unusual health trends, even before lab confirmation. Your vigilance can prevent outbreaks.

• Monitor and report unusual clusters of symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, rash).
• Flag sudden increases in medicine sales for specific diseases.
• Educate patients on disease prevention and early symptoms.
• Maintain confidentiality and ethical standards.
• Follow official reporting protocols promptly.
