Hi everyone,
There's a House Health, Education & Welfare committee hearing at the state house scheduled for Wednesday, March 26th at the State house. In submission is Bill H7576, which will bring reprimand to pharmacies that do not fill prescriptions for contraceptives in a timely manner or follow rapid protocol for their order. The bill will also encompass over-the-counter access to Emergency Contraception, stating that pharmacies not carrying the product must (1) ensure expedited order or (2) provide appropriate referral. Denial of care is not an option.
How you can help? If any of you or your friends have ever had trouble in RI (or elsewhere) getting contraception or EC filled at a pharmacy and would be willing to testify about it, please contact me. I will be part of the testifying panel on the 26th; the house needs to see medical student support on this bill, as it will affect the implementation ofour clinical advice by patients in the future.
Please let me know of your interest by e-mailing me at brian_nguyen@brown.edu
Thanks for your consideration.
~Brian Nguyen
