Yes you are right.
True
Agreed.
This is absolutely true, but the change is now in our hands, and also by empowering strong voices even more
I agree!
Nice illustration!
The question is how to control it? Or, how to bring the order back?
You’re right, pharmacies seem to be more like convenience stores than healthcare hubs nowadays.
True, pharmacies nowadays are more like a general store, people check medicines on Google and show them to the store and consume them without any proper consultation. This can be controlled by checking whether such stores have a licensed medical practitioner and the permission to even sell the non-prescribed drugs.
Absolutely true! It’s heartbreaking to see how pharmacy education in many places has turned into a business. Most colleges don’t even have proper labs or equipment students barely get hands-on training. Yet somehow, inspections are cleared smoothly. How can we build a future or compete globally when we’re not even given the basic practical knowledge? We deserve better not just degrees, but real education that shapes our careers.
This illustration you’ve shown is literally how pharmacy works now.
I do agree
I’ve noticed this too, it feels like the true value of pharmacy is getting lost. Instead of focusing on patient care, it’s become more about business and sales. We need to bring back the respect, knowledge, and responsibility that this profession deserves. Pharmacy is more than just a shop
I agree with you .
True , quality of education is lost in the race of profit
Totally agrees with you

Exactly! It’s honestly frustrating to see how pharmacies have turned into convenience stores. People walk in, pick up meds like they’re snacks, and half the time the person behind the counter doesn’t even have the right qualifications. It’s no longer about healthcare it’s just about profit now. The trust and responsibility that used to come with being a pharmacist feel like they’re fading, and that’s honestly scary.
