Social Problem

There is a lack of comprehension regarding the rationale behind prescribed medications and medication labels, which are only available in Chinese and English. This lack of understanding hampers proper usage and adherence to medication regimens
This makes effective medication management crucial, but unfortunately, it is often poor, leading to low adherence to treatment plans and subsequent health complications
During transitions between healthcare providers, proper medicines reconciliation is essential. However, this process is often overlooked, leading to medication errors or omissions that can have serious consequences for patients
The duplication of medicines received from both local and home countries, stemming from a lack of medical knowledge. Peer group influence, cultural beliefs and socioeconomic situation also contribute to suboptimal medication usage
