Farmacias Paula: New evolution of Pharmacies

The Mexican Republic is located on the American continent in the northern hemisphere; part of its territory is in North America and the rest in Central America. It has a total of 112.3 million people distributed in 32 federal entities. In 2016, the amount of 537,451.3 million was confirmed for the health function, of which 14,254.09 were destined for the supply of medication codes. The National Public Health System of Mexico is made up of two aspects that serve populations with very particular characteristics: the Social Security Health System that provides this service to the population that works in the formal economy (public, private and social sectors) and the Social Protection System in Health, which includes a set of institutions and programs with assistance characteristics, oriented towards the unemployed population, which works in the informal economy, is in a state of poverty, vulnerability or marginalization, lacks income or these are low and are prevented from contributing to the social security system. In these forms of health coverage there are various patients with chronic diseases who have difficulty achieving the therapeutic goals of their diseases and in this circumstance pharmaceutical care (PH) is necessary to achieve clinical results in patients and the corresponding humanistic results ( such as health-related quality of life) and economic. The first appearance of a possible definition of the term or concept of pharmaceutical care in the literature was in an article by Mikeal et al. published in 19752. The definition reads: (Pharmaceutical care is) "the provisions of any personal health service involving the decision to use, the use, and the evaluation of the use or drug, including the range of preventive, diagnostic, and treatment, rehabilitation provided by doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other health personnel”. In 2013, Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE), created a new definition that could satisfy experts from a multitude of countries: pharmaceutical care is the pharmacist's contribution to people's care in order to optimize the use of medicines and improve health outcomes. For this, at this moment we have observed that the sale of medicines or dispensing is inadequate, either in public or private pharmacies, in addition to the fact that there is no adequate control of the same sales, for this our innovation proposes the strengthening of pharmaceutical care to patients, in addition to the purchase of equipment to carry out unit dosage of treatments for patients, together with the completion of an application designed to include support from a pharmacist for clients.

Farmacias Paula is a brand Registered in Mexico in 2022 (Before IMPI) by the company NAG Health Solutions (A growing company), established specifically in Metepec, state of Mexico, having a scope in the Hospital area of this city with approximately 242,307 (Data from INEGI 2020), where the main objective is to improve Pharmaceutical services in our country since one of the problems is mainly Pharmaceutical care for patients since the use of medicines in some establishments is inadequate and the parameters are not met. established by law, since the sale of medicines is carried out as if they were finding sweets, in addition to this, as mentioned, we are a company in development and we are looking for investment for the development of our project, which is to acquire a space for the laboratory and Pharmacy own where we can build our model which the main objective is the acquisition of real estate, medical supplies, drones and equipment to perform unitary doses to patients and thus improve the pharmacological treatments of patients in addition to their deliveries have become more innovative, finally we know that with the investment established by the following prize we can achieve some objectives.

We firmly trust that our solution offers quality health services since all the products we acquire are of quality since they do not have any report by COFEPRIS as a health alert, in addition, every time a patient visits us we always mention that they take free the use of pharmaceutical care, which is given by health professionals so that they raise awareness about the rational use of medicines. Finally, the laboratory and the pharmacy meet high quality standards since our main objective is to improve health services in our country.We believe that this solution is aimed at patients with chronic diseases since in Mexico you have the first places because there is no rational use of medicines because they are sold and dispensed incorrectly. For this, our solution seeks to ensure that the treatments are more effective.

At this time we have started our Pharmacy and Laboratory project, we are located in Metepec, Mexico, we have complied with the regulations with 2 establishments and we are looking to increase our sales through marketing and alliances with specialized doctors in the area. With the aim of improving the health of their patients at the best price. Our work team has designed and implemented ways for the current pharmacy and laboratory system to match those of pharmacies currently in Mexico, at this time the difference between them is the offer of free pharmaceutical care to the public. A detailed analysis of pharmacies in Mexico is as follows: Small and medium-sized pharmacies occupy about 2/3 of the Mexican market, in volume and around 60% in value; In addition to this, 1/3 of the volume and 40% correspond to chain pharmacies. Pharmacies tend to group into Associations, such as the Mexican Pharmacy Association (ANAFARMEX) which brings together businesses with a total of 15,000 points of sale; of medicine distributors (ANADIM) that has 17 associated companies, with 7,250 points of sale that generate sales of 90,000 million pesos a year; The National Union of Pharmaceutical Entrepreneurs (UNEFARM) brings together nearly 5,000 independent pharmacies. According to the National Statistical Directory of Economic Units (DENUE) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), 10,638 pharmacies with convenience stores and 45,283 without have been identified. Below, you can see their distribution by State of the country. On average for the entire Mexican territory, the ratio is 4 to 1 pharmacies without mini-supermarkets compared to the others. For this, the new model of Pharmacies that we have implemented in the first part Farmacias Paula is a Registered Trademark in Mexico before the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property and will soon be seeking a Franchise sales license. For this we know that we have started a path and we are looking for means for the development of our final project where we look for a new model of Pharmacies in Mexico and the world using unit doses for chronic degenerative patients and in addition to innovative technologies that allow improving and making treatments more efficient. from the patients.

We are applying to the following model since we are looking for the funds to install another franchise in which we will place in which we can install another clinical laboratory and pharmacy and at the same time these will have a specific place to prepare unit dose treatments for patients. For this, our vision is We as a company see ourselves in 5 years positioned as the leading brand of Pharmacies in Mexico and the world, likewise we see ourselves fully developing our project, placing and inaugurating establishments in all corners of our country, in addition to improving health services and pharmaceutical care service, in addition to pharmacological treatments, they are specialized for each patient and thus have more efficient treatments for all our clients using new technologies, developing the IOS and Android application that we have designed with innovative deliveries and knowing the pharmacoeconomics and pharmacovigilance of drugs in our country

We firmly trust the leader of this team that he has great communication, leadership, and a way of doing business with the medical community in his area, since he has obtained agreements and necessary information for the growth of the establishments, as well as improving services, since by talking with they seek to improve the quality of life of their patients through new technologies, teaching their patients

The pharmacy model that we want to implement has not been seen in our country. It is an idea that we have built as a work team, which we know who our drivers are and their main objective is to sell medicines, they are not interested in poor dispensing, inadequate pharmaceutical care and Finally, the quality and origin of the product, for which Farmacias Paula designed an action plan to improve pharmaceutical care for its clients, adding the design of exclusive treatments for its clients, with deliveries of the product that have not been seen in our country.

We as a company see ourselves in 5 years positioned as the leading brand of Pharmacies in Mexico and the world, likewise we see ourselves fully developing our project, placing and inaugurating establishments in all corners of our country, in addition to improving the services of health and pharmaceutical care service, in addition to pharmacological treatments, are specialized for each patient and thus have more efficient treatments for all our clients using new technologies, developing the IOS and Android application that we have designed with innovative deliveries and knowing the pharmacoeconomics and pharmacovigilance of medicines in our country.

As each company has goals, which we divide among our colleagues, for this purpose, we also describe how we have developed through the following report: We are aware of our growth since the founding of the company, which we know that during 2019 we did not obtain any benefits, for the In 2020 we started operations generating 1,200 USD with a profit margin of 45% and a growth in income of 10%, for the year 2021 in this year we obtained $2,500 USD with a profit of 42%, during this year we had a growth in income of 5 %, for 2022 it was our positive year we achieved sales of 51199 USD with a profit of 45% of which we obtained a growth in income of 20.

As we mentioned before, the technology that we want to implement is only to improve it, since as competitors such as Amazon Pharmacy it has it, but our idea is to improve and ensure the processes, make them more reliable so that they go on the market, in addition to the use of drones that can distribute their treatments and our IOS and Android application with the inclusion of the pharmacist to health services in Mexico

Our solution is based on machines that prepare unit doses of medicines for patients with chronic diseases, for which the model is already implemented, but we know that other health evaluations are required to improve dispensing reliability. In addition to implementing Pharmaceutical care provided by specialists, as well as computer technologies such as an Android and IOS application with deliveries with Drones
