The pharmaceutical industry grows with the development of technology and the science of drug creation.
As the medical industry expands, so do careers in the pharmaceutical industry.

Dis-Chem is South Africa’s second-largest retail pharmacy network, with 165 locations plus four in Namibia and one in Botswana.
In 2019, the chain made a total of 21.4 billion South African rands in sales.
Dis-Chem provides private-label goods, sells via the Internet, has a loyalty programme, and a wholesale section.
Dis-Chem began in Mondeor, a southern Johannesburg suburb, in 1978, when pharmacists Ivan and Lynette Saltzman launched their first retail pharmacy.
They pioneered the notion of a cheap pharmacy, offering products that were previously unavailable in South African pharmacies.
Dis-Chem entered the wholesale market in 2013 when it acquired a controlling stake in CJ Distribution to service its own stores as well as third parties.
Over time, Dis-Chem intends to expand its wholesale business into the distribution business whereby it would serve both the wholesalers and retailers.
Dis-Chem is now one of South Africa’s largest corporate retail pharmacy organisations.
Moreover, Dis-Chem has been awarded South Africa’s favourite pharmacy brand and number one health and wellness brand by pmr.Africa.
