Kos Sclavos a great advocate for the PBS

Medicines Australia chief executive Dr Brendan Shaw has congratulated Kos Sclavos, the outgoing national president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, on a significant record of achievement during his eight years in office.

Mr Sclavos announced today that he would stand down as Guild national president in October 2013.

“Kos has made a tremendous contribution to the broader medicines sector,” Dr Shaw said.

“He has been a consistently passionate and committed advocate for community pharmacy and for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

“His passion for pharmacy was obvious to anyone who came close to him, as was his commitment to the broader health of Australians.

“I congratulate Kos on his significant achievements during his time as national president of the Pharmacy Guild and wish him well in his future endeavours.”
