dispensing right???

The Star,Friday July 18,2008

Pharmacist's dispensing right in malaysia has been debatable for many years.
like most pharmacy graduates throughout malaysia, i do feel that goverment is not maximising our roles in the healthcare section
Throughout the typical 4 years pharmacy course,we had gone through series of highly specialised training in order to qualify as a skilled n highly trained healthcare professional
we had hospital visit, dispensing labs, compounding workshops,industrial research training n endless exams,but what is there for us upon graduation?
For most developing countries like britain,community pharmacist are like trained set of second eyes
However,community pharmacies are much like personal store in malaysia.rarely will u witness patients requesting their medication to be made based on prescriptions given by fellow doctors.
what does the future hold for the future pharmacists in malaysia?when will the dispensing right be given fully to community pharmacists?
