Pharmacist seeks to marry high professional standards with business savvy

Sandra Khan and the Medicine Express

Owner of the Camp Street pharmacy Medicine Express Sandra Khan has a goal to create a chain of pharmacies across the country as a way of multiplying the quality of service, which she says is critical but, in several respects, deficient in Guyana.

Khan, who as of November last year became the holder of a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Nations University, had graduated from the University of Guyana with a Diploma in Pharmacy in 1996. As part of her ongoing training she went to work with Geddes Grant as a medical representative. Her particular responsibility was to market new drugs that were being introduced in Guyana.

It was, she said, “an important responsibility” that went beyond simply selling drugs.
