World Pharmacist Day: "Think Health, Think Pharmacists"

Today, September 25, the world is celebrating World Pharmacist Day with the slogan “Think Health, Think Pharmacists.” Firstly, I would like to thank and congratulate all the pharmacists around the world for their dedication to patient care as a part of the health system.In the context of our country, when we think of a pharmacist, what

comes to mind? For many, it’s the friendly professional at the local drugstore, carefully counting out pills and handing you a prescription. Still, there are many pharmacies running without pharmacists, and different hospital pharmacies are owned by people from non-pharmacy backgrounds. In such a scenario, different problems may occur, such as issues with the availability of quality products, cold chain management of pharmaceuticals, smooth inventory management, inappropriate dispensing techniques, and many more.
