On September 23rd, IJN College’s Diploma in Pharmacy students proudly hosted a significant event in conjunction with World Pharmacy Day 2024. This global celebration is dedicated to highlighting the crucial role of pharmacists in healthcare, providing valuable information on advancements in the pharmaceutical world, and promoting the importance of safe and effective medication practices.
At IJN College, we believe in preparing our students to be leaders in the field of pharmacy. The event, which took place at Bangunan Yayasan Selangor, Level 10, was a perfect platform for them to showcase their knowledge, engage with the public, and contribute to community health awareness.
An Insightful Forum on the World of Pharmacy and Medicine
One of the main highlights of the day was the forum, where pharmacy and medical professionals shared insights on the latest trends and developments in the pharmaceutical and medical industries. This forum was an invaluable opportunity for attendees to learn about the evolving role of pharmacists in modern healthcare.
The discussions focused on crucial topics such as:
- The impact of technology on pharmaceutical care
- The growing importance of personalized medicine
- Ethical considerations in the pharmaceutical industry
- The role of pharmacists in patient safety and healthcare improvement
Students, healthcare professionals, and members of the public had the chance to ask questions, exchange ideas, and gain a deeper understanding of how pharmacy practices are transforming to meet the needs of a rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
Interactive Health Exhibitions Promoting Wellness
In addition to the forum, a health exhibition was held at Level 10 of Bangunan Yayasan Selangor. The exhibition featured interactive booths that provided health screenings, educational materials, and practical advice on topics ranging from medication management to healthy living.
Exhibitors included pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, and non-profit organizations dedicated to promoting public health. Visitors could learn about the latest innovations in medication, discover new healthcare products, and receive personalized consultations from pharmacy students under the supervision of licensed pharmacists.
The health exhibition was designed not only to increase awareness about health and wellness but also to emphasize the critical role pharmacists play in promoting healthy communities. Attendees were able to get their blood pressure checked, discuss common medication issues, and obtain advice on proper drug use and adherence to treatment plans.
Why World Pharmacy Day Matters
World Pharmacy Day is celebrated globally to recognize the essential contributions of pharmacists to global health. Pharmacists are often the first point of contact in healthcare, providing essential services such as medication counseling, chronic disease management, and immunization administration. Their work ensures that patients receive the safest and most effective treatments possible.
At IJN College, we are proud to support this global initiative by organizing events that educate the public and foster collaboration between pharmacy students and healthcare professionals. Our students are the future of the pharmacy profession, and through hands-on experiences like this, they gain the skills and confidence needed to thrive in their careers.
