World Pharmacist’s day 2017 - NGSMIPS

“From Research to healthcare: your pharmacist is at your service”, the theme for this year‘s World Pharmacists day emphasizes the growing need for assistance by pharmacists sought by the health care delivery system indicating that the pharmacists role is complementary to the medical profession and not in competition and that today’s pharmacist has not remained just a “pill-vendor” but has become an integral part of the healthcare delivery system.

To drive home this message to the public, a rally was organized by NGSM Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Deralakatte, Managlore on 25 September, 2017. Over 700 students participated in the rally which was flagged off by the principal Dr. C.S. Shastry.
