Pharmacy is the art and science of dispensing medicines which involves preparation and formulation of drugs and also educating the public about medicine. Pharmacy is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemical sciences, and it is responsible for ensuring safe and effective use of pharmaceutical drugs.
According to the Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society, the ratio of pharmacist to a patient in the year 2010 is 1:4700. This shows that the country is still faced with a shortage of pharmacy support staff in the hospital, clinics, and public health services.
