in private hospitals and in closed pharmacutical labs, yes.. but in the open pharmacies around town, no.. Still in this Islamic society, if a woman is working in a place where she might be subject to meeting with a man alone, this is not allowed.. Im sure there are exceptions to every rule. But normally you know.. in a little street front pharmacy, she is the only vender there and if a man comes up to her alone, this is not allowed for her protection.. Maybe in the future if pharmacy windows were added in the major hypermarkets (like they do in USA in Walmart etc) where she will be working inside a booth that has closed off windows, and she can fill prescriptions from the safey of that booth, then possilby yes.. but they havent applied those as yet...
