End the long wait of new pharmacy graduates


IT is deeply saddening that a large number of newly graduated pharmacy students in Malaysia are being forced to wait a long time for their interview with the Public Services Commission (PSC) which would decide their placement for internship.

Firstly, the Health Ministry’s stand on the dispensing separation issue, where it claims that there are not enough pharmacists to make it viable, is deplorable. Doesn’t the Health Ministry know that there are about 14,500 pharmacists in the country and about 20 pharmacy schools producing 1,200 pharmacy graduates annually?
