Link pharmacy is synonymous with making people feel better. For nearly three decades, mothers – and sometimes fathers – have looked to the blue, red and white logo as guidance for colds, headaches, bruises and sound advice from the well – informed pharmacists.
Link has grown from a handful of pharmacies, to a nationwide establishment, due to its dedication to giving sound advice and the best medicine. The group boosts over 200 locations in Southern Africa, accessible to most of the 46 million South Africans.
