What is Pharmacy?
Pharmacy is the health profession that links the chemical and biological sciences from the discovery to the development of medicines and ultimately to health sciences where these medicines are used in disease prevention and treatment.
As key professionals in the healthcare system, pharmacists use their unique knowledge of medicines and skills to provide patient care. The scope of pharmacy practice includes the compounding and dispensing of medicines, provision of health information advice, and management of diseases and medications. Pharmacists also hold key responsibilities in pharmaceutical industry where there is constant demand for pharmacy graduates in drug discovery and development, production, quality assurance, regulatory affairs and clinical research.
