Links to the health workforce crisis
With the efforts of the Indian Pharmacist Association, the government of Rajasthan created the post of pharmacist. Earlier the work of pharmacists was done by nursing staff. Our continuous efforts resulted in the amendment of the recruitment rules concerning the Centre Reserve for Police Force for the post of Pharmacist, as per Pharmacy Act, 1948.
