Healthcare impacts everyone.
Sometimes Doctors only see patients for moments or once.
If you don’t have a family doctor or you use a walk in clinic or emergency room, it is very challenging to develop a relationship with the professional who is prescribing you potentially life saving medication.
Pharmacists have played a large role in healthcare for years.
In fact 125 years ago in Fenelon Falls, the pharmacist was also the doctor at MacArthur Drugs.
Today MacArthur Drugs is still operating. Many of the customers say they trust Sherif Ibrahim and his staff more than they trust their doctor.
I love this story. The Ibrahim family were told they would fail, and they did exactly the opposite. To loosely quote Raafat Ibrahim, “If you are proficient at a service and do it well, people will not care about your cultural or ethnic background. Offer what people need and want, that is what good business is.”
Watch this vlog and learn how and why an Egyptian family who immigrated to Canada bought the pharmacy, and how the role of a great pharmacist may be the secret to an efficient healthcare system.
Thank you to MacArthur Drugs for sponsoring this story.
