ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Evidence-based pharmacy in developing countries

Okay, let me explain this in a way that a 5-year-old can understand.

When we go to the pharmacy, we get medicines to treat our sickness or disease, right? But did you know that not all medicines are good for everyone?

That is where evidence-based pharmacy comes in. Evidence-based pharmacy means using scientific research and evidence to determine which medicines work best for which people. It helps us to choose the right medicine and the right dose for our specific need.

In developing countries, not all people have access to good healthcare or medicines. So, evidence-based pharmacy is even more important to make sure people get the treatments that work the best for them.

Pharmacists in developing countries have to be really careful because they may not have as many resources or money as other countries. They need to find ways to get the best medicines for their patients without spending too much money.

To sum it up, evidence-based pharmacy is a way to make sure we get the right medicine for our specific medical condition. And in developing countries, it is important for pharmacists to use this approach to get the best treatment for their patients while being mindful of costs.
