Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Nurse prescribing and dispensing are central to ensuring universal health access in South Africa.
UNASSIGNED: To describe the historical development of the legal enablements of nurse prescribing and dispensing in South Africa and highlight gaps in the current legislative framework.
UNASSIGNED: This is a discussion article.
UNASSIGNED: We emphasise significant deficiencies in the current legislative landscape that pose challenges to these vital nursing practices and call for urgent revisions of the legislative framework, particularly the revision of Section 56 of the Nursing Act (33 of 2005) and its related regulations, to formalise authorisation of specialist nurse prescribers in public and private practice. This will also entail an application to the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAPHRA) for the scheduling of substances by authorised nurse prescribers in the defined professional nurse and specialist nurse categories by the Minister of Health.
UNASSIGNED: There is a necessity for prompt legislative revisions to address identified deficiencies.
UNASSIGNED: The contribution of this article lies in its advocacy for changes to the regulatory framework to further enable nurses to deliver safe and comprehensive health care.

摘要：
护士处方和配药是确保南非全民健康的核心。
■描述南非护士处方和配药法律授权的历史发展，并强调当前立法框架中的差距。
■这是一篇讨论文章。
我们强调当前立法环境中的重大缺陷，这些缺陷对这些重要的护理实践构成挑战，并呼吁紧急修订立法框架，特别是对《护理法》(2005年第33号)第56条及其相关条例的修订，正式授权在公共和私人执业的专科护士处方师。这还需要向南非卫生产品监管局（SAPHRA）申请，由卫生部长指定的专业护士和专科护士类别中的授权护士开药人员对药物进行调度。
■有必要迅速进行立法修订，以解决已发现的缺陷。
■本文的贡献在于其倡导改变监管框架，以进一步使护士能够提供安全，全面的医疗保健。
