Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has hugely affected healthcare services, particularly pharmacy services in a COVID-19 hospital. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, clinical pharmacists routinely reviewed patients’ medications upon ward admission, actively participated in ward rounds and partook in transitional care activities focusing on medication reconciliation and patient education in the wards. However, in order to limit contact with COVID patients, hospital pharmacy department reacted promptly by establishing remote clinical pharmacy services in order to sustain the quality of inpatient pharmaceutical care. This commentary describes the challenges faced by clinical pharmacists in a Malaysian hospital as we continue to provide clinical pharmacy services amidst the new norm.
