This is a first-hand account on how Pharmacy works in Istanbul, Turkey. During a 5-week stay, it is an attempt to understand the processes, structures, and delivery of pharmaceutical care services that exist in their system. Even more, it is an anecdotal stream of thoughts, events and experiences of the culture and people in the region. I am out to explore new places, meet new people, try new foods, and ultimately return with a deeper appreciation of this unique part of the world.

There are no refills in Turkey, they use a different system. Instead the patient gets a "report" issued by the doctor. It's good for 2 or 3 months or longer. Basically it authorizes the patient to come back to the pharmacy for more supply. Under no circumstances can they get medicine early, not even a vacation supply.
