Hyderabad: More than 200 pharmacists from Telangana went to the camp office of health minister Dr Laxma Reddy, demanding jobs for clinical pharmacists in government and private hospitals. They also sought the setting up of a pharmacy council for the state.
As Telangana does not have a pharmacy council, pharmacists from TS have to go to Andhra Pradesh to get their ‘No objection certificate.’
The pharmaceutical industry, colleges and professionals have time and again pressed for the setting up of a council so that their grievances could be solved within the state.
Dr A. Sanjay Reddy, president Telangana Pharma Society, said, “Students passing out from pharmacy colleges require jobs. The policy of employing clinical pharmacists in government and private hospitals must be made compulsory.”
The students and professionals have demanded that the government must consider the problems of pharmacy profession and resolve them.
