Regulatory compliance among over-the-counter medicine sellers facilities within the Upper East Region of Ghana.

Regulatory compliance was low in the Upper East Region of Ghana, particularly across rural locations, where most of the facilities failed to meet the laid down provisions of the Pharmacy Council regarding practice, staff and premises requirements. This could be attributed to the fact that these areas are poorly resourced. Policymakers are been called on to put in place pragmatic measures in relation to OTCMS facility's location and regulatory requirements to address the inequities in compliance.
