Hyderabad: Doctors of Pharmacy Association and student organisations have called for a bandh in the pharmacy colleges on Saturday to press for a ‘clinical pharmacist cadre’.
Doctor of pharmacy course was started in 2008 but the government did not create a cadre to categorise them for jobs. While the course continues, the government is not recognising them as key healthcare providers.
Doctors of Pharmacy Association has been holding protests at various places demanding the recruitment of clinical pharmacists in government hospitals.
