Abstract
: Chronic patients are required to access their chronic medicines on a regular basis, often only to refill
their repeat prescriptions. Adherence to chronic medicines is challenging and has stimulated health care providers
to devise differentiated service delivery models of care to decentralise chronic medicine distribution to decrease
the frequency of medicine collection at health care facilities. One such option includes a last kilometre medicine
delivery service. This study investigated chronic patients’ preferences for a last kilometre medicine delivery service
model.
