Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 7: An urgent meeting of Jammu Kashmir Govt Pharmacist Association Jammu was held today under the chairmanship of Mr. Sushil Sudan State President JKGPA in the office of Jammu Kashmir Medical Employees Federation Director Health Services Complex Jammu.
Issue of the meeting was the celebration of world pharmacist Day on 25th of September 2021 and other demands also discussed during meeting were iploma in Pharmacy/Bachelors in Pharmacy course & higher qualification in the field are regulated across the country by the Apex body, i.e. Pharmacy council of India. The said forum frames regulations from time to time to govern the practice and profession of Pharmacy across the country.
Despite introduction of J&K Re-organization, Act, 2019, the Government of U.T of J&K is still allowing J&K Para Medical Council to deal with matters concerning with Pharmacists interests. The courses in Pharmacy are being currently regulated in terms of J&K Para Medical Council Act, 2014. Necessary amendment in the said Act is urgently required to omit these courses from its ambit. Needless to mention that after introduction of J&K Re-organization Act, 2014 among several Laws, the J&K Pharmacy Act, Samvat, 2011 got repealed and replaced by Pharmacy Act, 1948. In light of this transition there’s absolutely no reason what so ever to have adopt a dual regulatory control to deal with matters concerning Pharmacists profession.
Creation of more posts of Senior Pharmacists at Sub Distt Hospitals and Distt Hospitals. Up-gradation of Block Pharmacy Officer and Distt Pharmacy Officer.
Handling of Drugs by non qualified persons in the state of J&K region in all Govt. Medical Colleges, Department of Health Services, Jammu/Kashmir and Department of Family welfare, J&K Department of Aid Control and ISM Department. |
