PPA - ASMA HANIF STRUGGLE FOR PHARMACIST RIGHTS - ON MALL ROAD LHR :Hospitals lack pharmacists The National Drug Policy (NDP) is not being implemented in any of the major city hospitals, Pakistan. The NDP guidelines are being violated as none of the public hospitals across the city is maintaining the standard ratio of one pharmacist for fifty beds, which is affecting the patients and young pharmacy graduates coming into the field. The section number 8.2 of the National Drug Policy states, “It will be the policy objective of the government that the scheme of scientific hospital pharmacy shall be introduced in the country both under the federal and provincial governments. In order to provide efficient health care service, hospital pharmacists shall be appointed in all the hospitals of the country at the rate of one pharmacist for each fifty beds. Efforts will be made to increase the availability of qualified pharmacists for this purpose. The Hospital Pharmacy System will be properly organised on scientific lines under the supervision of graduate pharmacists.
