Conclusion

The Pharmacy4Mums2B service, provides an excellent service to expectant and new mothers which is easily accessible.

By visiting the pharmacies, women learned many things that they did not know before, namely importance of taking folic acid, vitamin supplements, early booking for antenatal clinics, immunisations, free oral health checks, STD clinics. Pharmacists and staff increased their clinical knowledge in these areas.
