Pharmacy as a profession is an integral part of the healthcare system in India and across the globe, propagated multifold with new trends and career opportunities. Today's pharmacist is emerging as a healthcare professional involved not only in the safe and efficacious manufacture of drugs, but in research & development, clinical research, marketing & distribution, regulatory affairs and pharmacovigilance.
The emergence of multidrug-resistant infections, newer disease conditions and increasing health awareness have contributed to rising demand for pharmacists: India has emerged as the world's third-largest healthcare professional group, and is known as the 'Pharmacy of the World,' ranking third worldwide in pharmaceutical production by volume and 14th by value.
