On 25th September 2016, around 300 participants from different health professions gathered for a one day conference on Pharmaceutical Care, with the theme : “Pharmacist: Caring for you“.
This conference was organised on the occasion of the the world pharmacists day which is celebrated on the 25th September of each year. World Pharmacist Day is used by pharmacists around the globe to highlight the impact and added value of the pharmacy profession and its role in improving health to authorities, other professions and the media, as well as to the general public.
Pharmacist Noel RUTAMBIKA, the vice-chairperson of the Rwanda National Pharmacy Council during his opening remark said tha
This year’s theme was chosen to reflect the important role of pharmacists in providing care to the public, and also to highlight the emotional connection they have with their patients. The role of pharmacists has evolved from that of a provider of medicines to that of a provider of care. Pharmacists have a vital role in the outcome of pharmacological therapies and ultimately strive to improve patients’ quality of life.
