Which kind of Health and Emergency center did you visit? Introduce briefly.

The name of this pharmacy is Mahbub Medicare. This shop is located on Kholahati Road in Parbatipur city. The pharmacy remains open from 9:30 AM to 11:00 PM every day.

I visited a pharmacy because a pharmacy is an important part of health and emergency services. After hospitals, fire service stations, and health clinics, pharmacies play a vital role. In almost every illness, patients need medicine, and pharmacies provide those essential medicines.

In emergency situations, pharmacies become even more important because many life-saving medicines are available there. That is why pharmacies are considered a very important service sector. I visited a well-known pharmacy in our local market and observed the shop carefully.

All necessary medicines are available here at affordable prices. Both retail and wholesale medicines are sold in this pharmacy.

What are the important emergency services there?

The most important responsibility of a pharmacy is to provide the correct medicine to customers. Sometimes, mistakes happen when medicine names or brands are mixed up, which can cause serious health problems.

That is why pharmacy staff should always be careful and knowledgeable while providing medicines. Wrong medicine can be harmful for people of all ages, including children and elderly patients.

Some important emergency services of this pharmacy are:

Providing immediate assistance to accident patients
Helping critically ill patients quickly
Dressing and first aid for snake bite or dog bite patients and guiding them for further treatment

Why did you go there? Show your experience there.

I went to this pharmacy to buy medicines. During the end of winter, someone in almost every household gets sick. I went there mainly to buy Doxicap medicine for my sore throat.

Along with that, I also bought some other medicines for home use, such as paracetamol, gastric medicine, and calcium tablets. These medicines are always good to keep at home for emergency needs.

The behavior of the staff was very polite and friendly. They treat everyone well and sell medicines at very reasonable prices, often at wholesale rates. The shop has CCTV cameras, and there is parking space in front of the store.

Overall, this pharmacy has become very popular to me because of its service, behavior, and facilities.
