 Medicines and related supplies are not easy without having a proper medical warehouse, for example laboratory test kits and reagents,

are expensive and valuable, especially medicines and diagnostics for HIV and AIDS. They need care otherwise they may deteriorate.

Therefore items in the stock should be stored in a proper storage space or a medical warehouse.

Your health care facility should have a room that can be locked, that is in good condition and is well organized.

That room will be your pharmacy store. It should be separate from where you dispense medicines.

You should keep all supplies in the store and take (or issue) what you need daily from the store to a dispensing area.
