E-DRUG: Improving community pharmacy practice (2)
------------------------------------------------

In India we have diploma in pharmacies, who graduate in
large numbers, in addition we have graduate pharmacy
courses . Whereas the graduate pharmacies are more
suited to be in pharmaceutical Industry ( due to the
syllabus not updated in most of the universities), the
dipoma pharmacy curriculam needs further alterations
if at all it is to be continued as a professional course. 

Much depends on our govt to make suitable amendments
to upgrade the pharmacy profession to play a vital
role in health  management, both at community and
public level.

If we compare the role of pharmacy profession and
practice in India with that of other countries there
is much to be done here in our country.
