Assessing pharmacists’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices on medicines waste reduction in the UAE
This study illustrated serious gaps in knowledge and practices among community pharmacists in the United Arab Emirates regarding medicines waste reduction. Despite awareness, nearly half had poor knowledge, and best practices were inconsistently implemented. Proper educational campaigns and courses, comprehensive training, and policy interventions are essential to address these gaps.
