World Pharmacist Day; let's Join the Campaign; we are Special!

The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) is the worldwide body representing more than 4 million pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists. FIP annually celebrates “World Pharmacist Day” with the objective to empower pharmacists and support the development of the pharmacy profession by advancing pharmacy globally.

This year’s World Pharmacists Day campaign: “Pharmacy: Always trusted for your health” is an opportunity for the Pharmacy Department of Hospitals as well as Pharmaceutical Industries & others to show appreciation for the trust placed in the profession and increase awareness of this trust and pharmacists’ vital role in improving health, says FIP.

As a career, Doctor of Pharmacy is one of the noble health care professional degrees with the aim to produce highly competent and knowledgeable, well trained, skilled, critical thinker and proficient professionals called Pharmacist. Pharmacists are healthcare professionals who specialize in the right way to use, store, preserve, and provide medicine. Pharmacists work with other health care professionals to maximize health outcomes. Numerous studies have proven that the presence of a pharmacist on hospital rounds as a full member of the patient care team has been shown to prevent medication errors and reduce costs.

Dr. Ziauddin Group of Hospitals is a high-standard tertiary care unit that has one of the greatest missions to provide a learning environment where a Pharmacist can acquire ample amount knowledge and can refine his/her clinical skills which not only enhances professional competency but also improves patient health outcomes.

Pharmacists also have enlightened their active role in the COVID’19 pandemic by providing pharmaceutical care to isolated patients and community services as frontline healthcare workers.

Maternal and newborn health

Newborns and mothers are still dying in awful numbers many a times from preventable causes. It is still sad to see that newborns and mothers – including adolescent mothers – are still dying in inadmissibly large numbers – mostly from avoidable or treatable causes, such as infectious diseases and complications during pregnancy or childbirth. Poorly matched access to reasonable, high-quality health care and services hinders many countries from improving maternal and newborn survival and reducing stillbirths. A significant proportion of maternal and newborn deaths occurs in settings of conflict or dislodgment .
