US pharmacy chain Walmart has launched Testing and Treatment, a new program that lets its pharmacists test customers for strep throat, flu and COVID-19 before treating them directly.
The program allows patients to receive testing and quick treatment in one place, with the solution now available at Walmart pharmacies across 12 US states.
Test and Treatment is available on a walk-in basis by simply engaging with a pharmacist, or alternatively, patients can use the Walmart app to make an appointment.
Walmart pharmacist John Ulrey said, "pharmacists are starting to fill an important gap in the medical field...it's going to change how pharmacists are thought of in the community".
Prices currently start at US$133 depending on the service provided.
