Who is at the top of the chain of command for medical stores?

• A. OIC medical Account
• B. Pharmacy technician
• C. Raf medic dispensary
• D. SMO

Answer: (D)

The top of the chain of command for medical stores is the Senior Medical Officer (SMO). The SMO holds overall responsibility for the medical department at a station, including the management of medicines and equipment, procurement, stock control, storage conditions, and dispensing policies. Subordinates such as the Officer-in-Charge of Medical Stores or the Medical Accounts Officer handle specific duties within that system and report to the SMO. A pharmacy technician provides frontline support in dispensing and stock handling under supervision, not ultimate authority over the stores. A Raf medic dispensary refers to a unit or facility, not the person who commands the medical stores.
