| Pharmacy is a vital and important link in the modern Healthcare System. It has become the global healthcare and evolved as a multidisciplinary, multifaceted faculty.
It is a blend of technology and health science and thereby offers a dual scope. Hence the traditional pharmacist has come a long way in the recent years to become a ‘Drug Expert’ in a real sense.
The options to Diploma Pharmacists include Drug Store Management, Community Pharmacist, Hospital and Clinical Pharmacist, Marketing and Medical detailing experts. They may go for higher education in Pharmaceutical Sciences (B.Pharm) or Management studies. Some with entrepreneur ability may start Retail Pharmacy, Department or chain Stores while others may opt to go for repacking of drug and manufacturing of cosmetics.
Today, the responsibilities of Pharmacist have increased immensely & it is the job to educate both Public and Health Care Professionals about medications.
As of today the Pharma Industry worldwide has grown to a multibillion-dollar business. In India the Export of bulk drugs & formulation has gone up to more than Rs.5500 Cores P.A. indicating a growth of 16000times, from only 3.05 cores in 1956.
