Saskatchewan launches a $700k pilot project for rapid strep throat and ear infection testing in select pharmacies.
Saskatchewan's government is launching a $700,000 pilot project allowing select pharmacies to conduct rapid testing and treatment for strep throat and ear infections. Starting in December, ten pharmacies will perform strep tests, while fifty will assess ear infections. This initiative aims to enhance healthcare access, especially in rural areas, and involves training pharmacists to broaden their roles in patient care. Future expansion may follow based on the pilot's success.
