Pharmacy profession is a noble profession engaged
in activities pertaining to drugs and pharmaceuticals. It has
responsibilities in the following areas
Promotion of health;
- Supply of medicines, medical
- devices, patient self-care;
- Improving prescribing and medicine
use by pharmacists’ activities.
Due to several Socio economic
causes in developing countries the pharmacy practice and related
services have not
|
developed like in
other developed world. This leaves lacunae in community pharmacy,
which makes unsatisfactory services. This has been realized even
by global agencies like WHO, FIP and Governments of developing
nations. The FIP has prepared the documents like,
- Guidelines for Pharmacy Practice
- Good Pharmacy Practice in Developing Countries
Recommendations for step-wise implementation with an intention
to establish and improve the standard pharmacy practice in developing
|
countries. To fulfill
the aspirations of the subjects from developing nations the need
for organized efforts to be put for with the Association of community
pharmacists comes into existence.
