How a free dispensary session could work in Lahore

Follow a proposed visit from the first enquiry to collecting medicines, and see what needs to be in place before the first patient arrives.

At the dispensary counter →: Why an agreed medicines list and a record of stock shortages matter to the person collecting a prescription.
After the session →: The records and patient feedback that would help show whether costs were genuinely removed.
