Statutory & Legal Compliance: Maintain meticulous registers for scheduled drugs, narcotics, and controlled substances in strict accordance with local drug regulations and healthcare laws.

Billing & Insurance Processing: Efficiently manage the pharmacy point-of-sale (POS) system, process cash/digital billing, and handle health insurance claims or corporate healthcare network approvals.
