| Abstract:
|
It is strongly realized by one and all that even after more than 80 years, the overall image of pharmacist in general and community pharmacist in particular is very poor in India. The community pharmacists are still struggling for their identity as healthcare professionals. The community pharmacists are branded as drug trader or drug seller by the public. There are many papers stating the urgent need for relocating pharmacist status in society, but unfortunately perhaps no one has come out with concrete solution in this regard. Therefore this paper looks at hard core facts for achieving the common goal of raising the current status of community pharmacist in India, with special emphasis on radical reform in pharmacy curriculum and phase wise implementation of stringent registration/licensure process being followed in developed countries.
