PRESIDENT’S FOREWORDIt is an honour to present the maiden Annual Report ofthe recently-appointed 25-member Council collective.At the beginning of our term, we committed ourselvesto achieving various strategic objectives towardsthe realisation of our legislative mandate and in linewith our newly-adopted vision of ensuring “Accessiblequality pharmaceutical services for all”. Chief amongthe main tenets of this vision is to ensure thatpharmaceutical services and care are fully accessibleto patients throughout the country and they are ofthe right quality; that is, they are in line with the Rulesrelating to Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP).The Council collective has a stewardship responsibilitytowards the Office of the Registrar and all Councilresources managed from this office. In the year underreview, we have managed to attain a clean auditopinion and adequately resourced the activities ofthe Council while maintaining average annual feeincreases in line with headline inflation. For the yearunder review, a pharmacy professional’s annual feeswere marginally lower than comparable health careprofessions in South Africa ( 10% difference) andconsiderably lower than comparable professionalsin other sectors of the economy ( 100% difference).Notwithstanding the fact that all service providers ofCouncil usually apply double-digit increases to theirown fees and prices, we intend to sustainably managethe resources of Council to ensure that we limit ortotally eliminate above-inflation increases to annualfees for the remainder of the Council term.In line with our strategic objective to ensure definitetherapeutic outcomes for the health and quality oflife of patients through the promotion of complianceto good pharmacy practice standards, the Office ofCouncil has undertaken several initiatives in 2019.We have conducted more than 2 000 pharmacyinspections and workshops across the country toguide pharmacy professionals on matters relating tocompliance, continuing professional developmentand the changing pharmacy education landscape.In addition to these, we have jealously guarded theimage of the profession by processing more than 400disciplinary matters. The intention of Council is not topunish unintentional transgressions or acts of omission,but to guide the profession towards full compliance inthe interest of patient care and safety. As such, onlygross transgressions received definite penalties such assuspension from practice or deregistration.As a Council that cares for the profession it regulates,we provide support and guidance to pharmacyprofessionals who encounter challenges that threatentheir fitness to practise the calling of Pharmacy. In the8Mr MD Phasha(President)year under review, the Health Committee of Councilattended to nineteen (19) colleagues who requestedCouncil’s assistance in managing various health andwellness issues. Four (4) of these colleagues werereferred from the disciplinary committees of Council.It is fulfilling to note that we addressed the issuesaffecting eight (8) of these colleagues. The HealthCommittee is still working with eleven (11) membersof the profession to ensure the improvement of theirwellbeing. We trust that we will successfully guide andsupport them.Our standard-setting work focused on improvingaspects of the GPP in line with the changing patientcare environment, as well as ensuring that challengessuch as the abuse of over-the-counter medicines areaddressed. To this effect, work is at an advanced stageto finalise the Minimum standard for substances with apotential to be overused, misused or abused. Further tothis, we have engaged with the Department of Healthon matters relating to the finalisation of the regulationsrelated to the scope of practice of Pharmacy Techniciansand trust that the regulations would be published forcomment in the coming reporting period.The advent of sustained competence throughContinuing Professional Development (CPD) isupon us, pharmacists have been selected as the firstcategory of registered pharmacy professionals to beexpected to comply with the CPD Regulations. I urgeall colleagues to welcome this opportunity to stayANNUAL REPORT 2019
competent and ensure that they continuously searchfor professional development opportunities, be theybest practice articles, academic/professional journals,training courses, webinars/seminars, or informaltraining within the pharmacy environment, amongmany other avenues.The Council also presided over the hosting of the 3rdNational Pharmacy Conference held in North Westin October 2019. This was an important nationaldialogue of all stakeholders in the profession whichalso presented ample opportunities for continuingprofessional development, as well as skills and bestpractice transfer among delegates. Our appreciationis to both local and international partners as well asthe Ministry of Health, the leadership of the NorthWest Department of Health and Moses Kotane LocalMunicipality for having showered us with their supportand presence.Among the key objectives of the 2030 Human Resourcesfor Health Strategy championed by the HonourableMinister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize, is the goal to“Produce a competent and caring multi-disciplinaryhealth workforce through an equity-oriented, sociallyaccountable education and training system” by 2030.In the year under review, Council undertook variousmeasures to ensure that this objective is realised.The review of the Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm)qualification was undertaken in collaboration withthe Council on Higher Education (CHE), the reviewedqualification will be published for comment in theforthcoming year. We have also managed to publishthe Scope of practice and qualification for specialistpharmacists in industrial pharmacies (Master ofPharmacy: Industrial Pharmacy) for comment throughBoard Notice 173 of 2019.In 2019 alone, we have added 680 more trainingsites for pharmacy graduates and pharmacy supportpersonnel – bringing the total number of pharmaciesapproved for training to 2 325. We hope this will goa long way in ensuring that pharmacy graduates donot find it hard to find internship placements postgraduation.The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Developmentadopted in 2015 by the United Nations GeneralAssembly identifies seventeen (17) SustainableDevelopment Goals, among which is a commitmentby member states to ensure universal health coverage(UHC) for their citizens by 2030. Recognising that thepharmacy is an important primary health care pointfor the fulfilment of UHC, we have put our focus onensuring that pharmacies can provide primary healthcare by taking actions that seek to equip pharmaciststo provide a full-service primary health care offeringin support of the goal for ensuring access to qualityhealth care for all. To this effect, we have ensured thatwe equip the Office of the Registrar to encouragethe development and accredit of Primary Care DrugTherapy (PCDT) programmes. Moreover, a task team ofCouncil has also reviewed some of Council’s minimumstandards related to the provision of primary healthcare services within the pharmacy, including theMinimum standard for family planning and sexual health.It is our intention to ensure that, in addition to familyplanning and the provision of Emergency Post-coitalContraception (EPC), pharmacists are able to providePharmacist-Initiated Management of Anti-RetroviralTherapy (PIMART), i.e. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP),Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) and Test & Treat.We are an organisation that does not operate in avacuum, most of our work is enabled and supportedby various stakeholders and partners. I wish to thankthe Ministry of Health, South African Health ProductsRegulatory Authority (SAHPRA), all Statutory HealthCouncils, law enforcement agencies, education andtraining Councils, associations and industry formations,and other stakeholders for their support during thisyear.MD PhashaPresidentIn the interest of ensuring that pharmacists continueto draw on the support of a competent andknowledgeable support workforce, Council appointeda Pharmacy Support Personnel (PSP) Task Team tofacilitate the finalisation of the PSP part qualifications,namely: the Pharmacist’s Assistant (Basic), Pharmacist’sAssistant (Post-Basic), and the Occupational Certificate:Pharmacy Technician. The work of this task team shouldbear fruit soon.ANNUAL REPORT 20199
FOREWORD: REGISTRAR & CEOThere is an adage in the Nguni languages of SouthernAfrica that Ithole likhula namafutha alo (looselytranslated to mean: one’s habits (good or bad) becomegreater as they age, or, rather, one’s behaviour ininfancy informs their behaviour in adulthood). Thefastidiousness of our good governance structures,financial prudence, and commitment to theadvancement of pharmacy and the assurance ofpatients’ rights to quality pharmaceutical care havebeen habits which have followed a consistent, upwardstrajectory as the profession grew from strength tostrength.I am pleased to announce that we have attained yetanother clean audit – our eleventh in a row. Furtherto this, we have ensured the continued financialsustainability of the South African Pharmacy Council(SAPC) by improving the liquidity ratio from 1.00 in2018 to 1.13 in 2019.The 3rd National Pharmacy Conference was also hostedduring this reference period, without putting a strainon Council coffers.AdvancingPharmacytowardsrdVision 2030: 3 National PharmacyConferenceThe premier triennial pharmacy gathering in thecountry, the 3rd National Pharmacy Conference, saw1 200 delegates, 27 exhibitor organisations and 12sponsors converged during the weekend of 3-5October 2019 to advance the pharmacy profession,share best practices and learn from each other’sexperiences, amongst others.We are grateful to the Minister of Health, DeputyMinister, Director-General: Health as well as the NorthWest MEC for Health and Mayor of Moses Kotane LocalMunicipality for having been part of the proceedingsduring this august occasion. We acknowledge withappreciation the support shown by our local partners,the experts, associations, educational institutions andother organisations within Pharmacy. The participationof International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP)Vice-President, Ms Samira Shammas, as well as otherinternational partners from the Southern AfricanDevelopment Community (SADC) region, the continentand the rest of the world has been a great honour andof much benefit to Pharmacy in South Africa.On behalf of delegates, the Council collectives thatpresided over the 3 rd NPC, and all stakeholders, I wish10Mr TA Masango(CEO & Registrar)to express our indebtedness to the 39 organisationsthat participated in making this the Conference sucha resounding success by providing resources forits execution. We salute the following sponsors forshowing commitment to advancing the Pharmacyprofession, the prosperity of South Africa and thehealth of her people: the Platinum Sponsor, AspenPharmacare, the delegate sponsor, Health & WelfareSector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA),our Gold Sponsors, Cipla, Dischem Pharmacies andthe Government Employees Medical Scheme (GEMS),and the Silver Sponsors: Adcock Ingram, Clicks,Colgate, Pharma Dynamics, Pick n Pay Pharmacy, Righte-Pharmacy, and Transpharm.Continuing ProfessionalDevelopment is now a realityThe Honourable Minister of Health, Dr Zweli Mkhize,promulgated the Regulations relating to ContinuingProfessional Development in May 2019. The Regulationsprovided for the phased implementation of thecontinuing professional development (CPD) process,the designation of registered persons as either “nonpractising” or “practising” as well as the requirement tosubmit an annual declaration to the SAPC by registeredpersons, amongst other matters.TheSAPCannounced,throughBoardNotice,ANNUAL REPORT 2019
pharmacists as the first category of registered personsexpected to comply with the regulations with effectfrom January 2020.Since then we have noticed confusion around theCPD requirements, including whether people canaccumulate “points” as a way of complying with therequirements. The SAPC CPD system is not based onpoints. It is an outcome-based system that seeks toassess whether a new skill or knowledge was acquired.As such, learning can occur by either reading an article,interacting with colleagues or patients, or attending acourse/workshop amongst many other avenues.Fulfilling the legislative mandate ofCouncilThe effective management of both human andfinancial resources and assets is a key determinant foran organisation’s survival and sustainability. However,of paramount importance is the management ofresources towards the effective achievement oforganisation’s key objectives and, in our case, thelegislative mandate as dictated by, amongst others,the Pharmacy Act, 53 of 1974.We have continued to maintain and enhance thedignity of the pharmacy profession, safeguard therights of patients to universally acceptable standardsof pharmaceutical care, provide counsel on matterspharmacy, contribute to efforts to promote the healthof the South African population, and we have ensuredutmost transparency to the profession and the publicas called for in Section 3 of the Pharmacy Act.Maintaining and enhancing thedignity of the professionDuring the period under review, the disciplinarycommittees of Council attended to 470 cases. Thisrepresents a 3,5% year-on-year increase in disciplinarycases from 2018. The majority (390) of the cases wereattended to by the Committee of Preliminary Inquiry(CPI), followed by Committee of Informal Inquiry (CII)with 55 matters, and Committee of Formal Inquiry(CFI) with 25 cases. Of the matters heard at CFI, 21respondents were convicted of the charges broughtagainst them – representing a rather concerningconviction rate of 84%.In 2019 we inspected 2 043 pharmacy facilities, a12,6% year-on-year increase in pharmacies inspectedwhen compared with 2018. A basic analysis of theANNUAL REPORT 2019inspection findings indicates that the Free State(98,9%), Western Cape (89,7%), Northern Cape (86,4%),North West (83,3%), Gauteng (81,7%), and KwaZuluNatal (81,6%) had substantially higher proportions ofpharmacy facilities achieving acceptable compliancelevels to Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) standards (i.e.achievement of Grade A & B inspection outcomes).Limpopo (38,9%), Mpumalanga (26,4%), and EasternCape (21,7%) had higher proportions of pharmacyfacilities achieving Grade C or D inspection outcomesin 2019.Universally acceptable standards ofpharmaceutical careThe Pharmacy Act, especially objects 3(c), (d), (g), (e)(iv), and (e)(v), requires of the South African PharmacyCouncil (SAPC) to set, maintain and uphold standardsthat ensure good pharmacy practice with the specificaim of delivering definite therapeutic outcomes forpatients and safeguarding the rights of the publicto universally acceptable pharmaceutical care. Asa result, maintaining and enhancing the dignity ofthe pharmacy profession and the integrity of thosepractising the calling.During the year under review, we have developedstandards aimed at improving pharmacy education,training and practice. We have published the followingstandards/amendments during this period, amongstothers: Correction Notice to the Good Pharmacy EducationStandards – Higher Education; Good Pharmacy Education Standards – Occupational Qualifications Sub-Framework (for comment); Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) amendments pertaining to access to a pharmacy, locums and standard operating procedures (for comment); GPP additional standard for Unit Dose Dispensing(for implementation); GPP amendment to the requirements of a tradingtitle of a pharmacy (for comment); GPP amendment with regards to access to facilities, locums and standard operating procedures.Additionally, in order to ensure the continuedcompetence of pharmacy professionals despiteoperating in a forever-changing practice environment,we had welcomed the promulgation of the ContinuingProfessional Development (CPD) regulations by theHonourable Minister of Health with enthusiasm andimmediately implemented measures to supportpharmacists to comply with the regulations. To this11
end, we have published a CPD Guidance Documentand conducted workshops throughout the country.The Office of the Registrar continues to be available toassist registered persons with understanding the CPDprocess and requirements.Ensuring accessible qualitypharmaceutical services throughthe registration of facilities andpersonsIn 2019, the Office of the Registrar processed 12 123successful registration applications. A large numberof the new applications were from Learners (Basic andPost-Basic Pharmacist’s Assistants) at 3 505 (or 28,9%).These were followed by Qualified Basic and PostBasic Pharmacist’s Assistants (2 993 or 24,7%), Tutors(1 763 or 14,5%), Pharmacy Students (1 045 or 8,6%),Community Service Pharmacists – after CommunityService (953 or 7,9%), Responsible Pharmacists (922or 7,6%), and Community Service Pharmacists (776 or6,4%). Applications from Pharmacy Technicians (PT),PT Trainees, Assessors and Moderators collectivelyamounted to 1,4% (166) of all new registrations in2019.Council has as its vision for the 2019-2023 termensuring Accessible quality pharmaceutical services forall – that is, to ensure more South Africans have accessto pharmaceutical care and medicines without havingto travel great distances. To achieve this, the Councilwould, amongst others, work towards ensuring theestablishment of access points (pharmacy facilities)within underserved communities.During 2019, the Office of the Registrar attended to535 license applications and recommended to theDirector-General: Health to issue 514 of these. Morethan half of these applications (288) were for newpharmacy licenses. We are also beginning to see theimpact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) withinPharmacy; during the year under review, we haveapproved three (3) licences for Remote AutomatedDispensing Units (RADUs). As at the end of 2019, thereare 4 800 pharmacies in South Africa, 10 of which areacademic institutions. Of these, 4 346 were communityand institutional pharmacies, representing an averageof 18 pharmacies per municipality for the country’s234 metropolitan and local municipalities.12Promoting health and ensuringtransparency to the public and theprofessionChief among the Council’s efforts to promote the healthof the population were the 2019 Pharmacy Monthprogramme and 3rd National Pharmacy Conference. Allstakeholders within Pharmacy engaged in PharmacyMonth activities across the country throughout themonth of September; additionally, media and socialmedia campaigns ensured increased awareness andimpact.In addition to these, the Office of the Registrar engagedCouncil stakeholders through various stakeholderplatforms, including the Annual Stakeholder Forumand Heads of Pharmacy Schools meetings. Moreover,the Office organised fourteen (14) workshops for theprofession across South Africa’s nine provinces aimed ateducating the profession on matters such as ContinuingProfessional Development (CPD), the expanding role ofpharmacy support personnel (PSP) as well as changesto PSP training programmes, and reviews to Council’sInspection and Grading mechanisms. The Office hasalso conducted information sessions with studentsacross all registered Pharmacy Schools in the country.Effective and efficient managementof the Office of CouncilThe Office of the Registrar, established in termsof Section 2 of the Pharmacy Act, has grown fromstrength to strength over the years. For instance, in2007, the Office only had a full-time staff complementof 40 persons; this number has grown with the size ofthe consolidated register of pharmacy professionalsand the increased demand for Council services. Assuch, in 2019, 103 persons are employed in the Officeof the Registrar.
