To be able to facilitate exchange of data, there is a Maldives Health Declaration Form that can be downloaded from the internet site of the Maldives Ministry of Health and is supplied to the resident. This forms contain general information such as an overall description of the diseases, diagnosis, and treatments, source of management, and last but not least, pointers to refer to further information. The health declaration form has to be filled in carefully and accepted by the applicant so as to satisfy the requirements.

In accordance with the current laws in the nation, a resident has the liberty to buy drugs from pharmacies approved by the ministry of health. It's the obligation of the resident to examine and understand the directions contained in the health declaration form prior to consuming or using any medication. A resident may acquire information on the QR code, if he knows it or not. If he does not, he's got the choice to get in touch with the doctor for guidance. When the resident has understood the directions, he might proceed to buy the drugs in the pharmacy offering the lowest prices. But if he does not understand the QR code, he should request his pharmacist to clarify it for him.

If a resident doesn't know the QR code, he must first inquire his pharmacist for help. If he is still not able to understand the directions, he might give a call to the National Pharmaceutical License Corporation (NPLC) who will then give the resident a pharmacist's prescription for the drug required. The NPLC also provides the resident with information about the manufacture of these medications, the uses and the precautions against the abuse of the drugs. The NPLC website can be reached online through their dedicated website. The resident could fill in the form online and download the certificate. Alternatively, a paper copy of the exact same can also be obtained from the office of the Pharmaceutical License Corporation.

After downloading the certification, the resident can go right to the neighborhood pharmacy selling the medicine. On the other hand, the resident might want to get his medicine delivered to his residence. For this, he can get hold of the Maldives Ministry of Health and Clinical Services. On their website, a listing of approved pharmacies and their contact details is recorded together with their pricing and merchandise availability.

The Ministry of Health has also issued statements to the effect that all pharmacies selling medical and pharmaceutical goods in the country are required to stock only those medicines that have been approved by the Maldives Health Declaration Form. Furthermore, all pharmacies are required to show the declaration form in the time of sale. This has made the selling of medicines in the nation a much easier process. It is also required that one consult with a pharmacist before purchasing any medicine in the Maldives.

In case the resident does not consult with a doctor, he is not obliged to purchase any medicine from the pharmacy on the spot. Rather, he must contact his doctor and ask him to inform him concerning the type of medicine to buy. In case the resident chooses to not buy any medicine from the drug store immediately, he's not responsible for any kind of defect in the medication. He's however, liable to return the product purchased if he's not satisfied with exactly the same. However, the resident is not legally bound to follow the recommendation of his doctor.
