Pharmaceutical Review (Staff Reporter). The Pakistan Pharmacists Association (PPA) is the official and national professional body of pharmacist’s community in Pakistan. That is working in all major pharmaceutical and healthcare areas. Pharmacy professionals are committed to promote the clinical and pharmaceutical patients care at highest possible standard. Therefore, PPA is working to maintain standards, improve skills and scientific competencies.
Currently there are three main groups of pharmacist community 1). Grand Pharmacist Alliance, 2). Reformer Pharmacists and 3). Professional Group working and contributing in Pakistan. These three groups have established their own PPA with three independent executive councils and three presidents, as under,
- Dr. Taha Nazir PhD, Grand Pharmacist Alliance, PPA. Pakistan Pharmacists Association | (Prof Dr Taha Nazir – Pharmacist, Pharmacologist & Microbiologist)
- Mushtaq Chaudhary, Reformer Pharmacists, PPA.
- RehmatUllah Khan, Professional Group, PPA. Pakistan Pharmacist Association (ppapak.org.pk)
The PPA is divided into parts because of the evil ego of 7 senior pharmacist of professional group. There bad intention of staying in power, controlling pharmacist community and deceiving government authorities are major hurdle to maintain and establish unity. These culprits use scientific events (conference) as potential tool of corruption and illegally occupied PPA house. They announced their own internal election of Professional Group as the election of PPA. This blunder is continued since last ≤30 years.
