Asthma Training for Pharmacists in Primary Health Care Reform. As part of the Ministry of Health's reform to strengthen primary health care, a key focus is on implementing clinical protocols and pathways to ensure a high standard of care. This is in line with updates to legislation, the positive medicines list, health information system digitization, and performance-based reimbursements. In addition, the renewed primary health care model emphasizes multidisciplinary team collaboration, including pharmacists. A training program was delivered to empower pharmacists with skills in asthma management, early symptom recognition, referral procedures, education on risk factors, and inhalation therapy administration, aligning with the Ministry's priority health conditions.
