Since open­ing its doors in 2005 Su­per­Pharm has con­tin­ued to de­liv­er on its promise of pro­fes­sion­al and trust­ed phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal dis­pens­ing as well as a com­fort­able and con­ve­nient cus­tomer en­vi­ron­ment. On Oc­to­ber 1, Su­per­Pharm ex­pand­ed var­i­ous cat­e­gories in their stores which in­clude the men’s sec­tion, the ba­by sec­tion, food on the go sec­tion and the Home Health Care Area.

The Home Health Care Cen­tre is geared to­wards di­ag­nos­tics, mo­bil­i­ty and bath­room safe­ty prod­ucts. Launched at their Val­sayn, Price Plaza, Trinci­ty, West Moor­ings, and Gulf View lo­ca­tions, it co­in­cid­ed with the Unit­ed Na­tions In­ter­na­tion­al Day for Old­er Per­sons. 

Here you will find blood pres­sure ma­chines, blood sug­ar test­ing ma­chines and res­pi­ra­to­ry de­vices. For mo­bil­i­ty; wheel­chairs, walk­ers, canes, and crutch­es. For bath­room safe­ty; grab bars, el­e­vat­ed toi­let seats, and com­modes. In ad­di­tion, the cen­tre car­ries items for in­con­ti­nence like adult di­a­pers specif­i­cal­ly the Na­teen Brand, which is car­ried ex­clu­sive­ly at Su­per­Pharm.

Se­nior Cit­i­zens have been en­joy­ing dis­counts every Tues­day at Su­per­Pharm with their Se­nior Cit­i­zens dis­count card, in­tro­duced in 2007. All se­niors 60 and over en­joy 10% off items through­out the en­tire store every Tues­day at all branch­es. 

“Trinidad is an age­ing so­ci­ety; the last fig­ures from the Cen­tral Sta­tis­ti­cal Of­fice tak­en in 2010 in­di­cate that 12% of our pop­u­la­tion is over the age of 60. The Unit­ed Na­tions project that by the year 2025, it is go­ing to be 17%. The age­ing pop­u­la­tion is grow­ing, so we at Su­per­Pharm want to make sure that we are serv­ing that seg­ment of peo­ple prop­er­ly,” said Cat­e­go­ry Man­ag­er for Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals and Health Care, Danielle Gale.

In ad­di­tion, Su­per­Pharm con­tin­ues to of­fer ser­vices that of­fer re­al val­ue to their cus­tomers. Like the dri­ve-thru ser­vice, con­ve­nient park­ing as well as What­sApp ser­vices to have pre­scrip­tions done be­fore time. There is al­ways a phar­ma­cist on du­ty as long as the phar­ma­cy is open. The lay­out of the stores pro­vides the cus­tomer with touch and feel ac­cess to a wide va­ri­ety of prod­ucts in a com­fort­able shop­ping en­vi­ron­ment, which pro­vides them with the time and in­for­ma­tion to se­lect the prod­ucts best suit­ed to their needs. 

From Su­per­Pharm’s in­cep­tion, one ma­jor goal has been and con­tin­ues to be, to raise the bar of pro­vid­ing phar­ma­cy ser­vices in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

“We be­lieve that we have done that with the qual­i­ty of our phar­ma­cists, the lay­out of our stores, the lev­el of ser­vice we pro­vide. We be­lieve that we have led the way in terms of de­liv­er­ing high-end phar­ma­cy ser­vices to the coun­try in our 14 years of ex­is­tence,” added Gale.

As Su­per­Pharm con­tin­ues to grow, there are plans to pro­vide more health care ser­vices to the mar­ket in the fu­ture. With the month of No­vem­ber card­ed to be Di­a­betes Aware­ness Month, the phar­ma­cy will be hav­ing a di­a­betes ed­u­ca­tion con­sul­tant vis­it­ing each store through­out the month. This will be avail­able to all cus­tomers.
