Abdul Hamied Parker – our Mr Parker – obtained his BPharm from the University of the Western Cape before opening Kempark Pharmacy in 1984.
“I can still remember the first product that we sold. Panado!”
What does Mr Parker enjoy about being a pharmacy owner?
“It’s so interesting, the combination of healthcare and retail. And such an extensive range of products you get to know, each different. Most of all, I treasure the valuable role that we play in our communities and getting to know our customers over the years”.
On being a Link pharmacy?
“Over thirty years, the Link brand has earned trust as South Africa’s ‘good health’ pharmacy. Their advertising is relevant and cost-effective which supports the Link stores. And Link’s own brand products are of a high quality and represent value to our customers”.
Plans for a primary care service.
“The need for primary care in communities is growing, and the extent of services offered will depend on community needs and dynamics. We have what we need to offer a quality clinic service and will be ready as soon as we appoint a qualified nurse”.
