Pharmacy Education and Practice in Pakistan: Are They Affecting our Healthcare System Dear BeeJay

I do agree with the points like “ medical stores manned by non-qualified persons and availability of the medicines without prescriptions and counterfeit medicines”. However, all are suggestive of poor pharmacy regulation in the country, which in turn shows that pharmacy regulators (pharmacy regulators are mostly pharmacists all over the world) are not capable enough to devise plans for effective medicine use and regulation. Though political will of the state is also required for a action but in the absence of proper pharmacy education, pharmacy organizations and pharmacists cant consolidates their roles, they cant mobilize civil society , they cant create awareness about drug use and in turn they failed to convince legislative authorities for a proper enforcement mechanism.

Perhaps education determine the standards of practice in a country, you can’t name any country in the world with good pharmacy education and bad pharmacy practice.
