From ensuring safe and effective medication use in hospitals, to offering life-saving counseling in community pharmacies; from advancing pharmacovigilance, to shaping the future of pharmaceutical science. Your impact is profound and far-reaching.

Pharmacists are often the most accessible healthcare professionals — trusted voices in communities, offering clarity, care and critical knowledge when it matters most.

You stand at the intersection of science and service, always working to safeguard the well-being of those you serve.

As we recognize your dedication, expertise and tireless efforts, let today be a moment of pride and reflection.

💊 “Not Just for Typhoid!”

Think Amoxicillin and Ciprofloxacin are only meant for typhoid? ❌ That’s a misconception!

These antibiotics are broad-spectrum agents used in the management of several bacterial infections — including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), skin and soft tissue infections, and bacterial pharyngitis.

🚫 Indiscriminate use of these medicines for “any fever” or self-diagnosed typhoid contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) — a growing global health threat.

👉 Best practice: Always take antibiotics only on the prescription of a licensed physician or the recommendation of a registered pharmacist after proper evaluation.
