Why the Pharmacist in Hospital is undervalued!

Patient Counseling is also a big role!!
Patient counseling is one of the most important professional responsibilities of a pharmacist
Educating patients about their prescribed medicines—how and when to take them, possible side effects, interactions, and storage instructions. The goal is to empower patients with knowledge so they can manage their health more responsibly.
However, in India, this important role of the pharmacist is often overlooked or undervalued.

Pharmacist is a bridge between the doctor and the patient.

Blockquote

Patient counseling is the art of transforming a prescription into understanding.
Pharmacists ensure that every patient knows:

  1. Why they are taking a medicine,

2.How to take it correctly

3.What to watch for to stay safe.

I believe this tradition is faced by many other professionals too. It all depends on the intellect level of the patients.

Very well said! In India, we really need to shift focus from “just dispensing” to “guiding and educating” patients about their medicines. :pill:
