Advancing community pharmacy practice in India: Initiatives, challenges and progress
Community Pharmacy Practice is not yet well developed in India. India is the country with probably the highest number of community pharmacies and pharmacists. It is an asset to have such a huge human resource available for building strong healthcare systems. But the fact is that these human resources have remained a missing link in the health system. Inspired by the FIP, the Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) along with several other organizations have constantly worked towards uplifting the pharmacy practice in the country. But it has been a mammoth task. The session discusses several initiatives taken up by IPA and other Organizations in last 2 decades, its outcome and the old and new challenges. |
