Pharmacists Roles and Responsibilities During Epidemics and Pandemics in Saudi Arabia: An Opinion Paper from the Saudi Society of Clinical Pharmacy	2020-07-07		.txt	text/plain	1890	103	47	Based on the existing scientific knowledge during this outbreak, the SSCP established an expert writing task force to conceptualize and draft the proposed recommendations that highlights the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists during epidemics and pandemics. These recommendations aim to provide the pharmacy profession community with several insights regarding the pharmacist's roles and responsibilities in the community, supply chain, and healthcare settings based on existing scientific knowledge during this outbreak. Recommendation 1: We urge the Saudi Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and the Ministry of Health (MoH) to continue to utilize pharmacists' expertise in prevention and treatment during epidemic and pandemic situations. Pharmacists can play an integral role in providing patient-focused services such as developing comprehensive care plans, therapeutic drug monitoring, and provide evidence-based recommendations. Recommendation 3: Pharmacists should take a proactive role in the development, implementation, and adherence to institutional and national guidelines related to the emerging outbreak such as COVID-19.	./cache/cord-312904-875s0md1.txt	./txt/cord-312904-875s0md1.txt
