Academic Social Pharmacy BP404T B.Pharm Sem IV Paid Access

Social Pharmacy and Public Health (Theory)

By Dr. Alok Rai, Shivam Kumar & Vikash Kumar

Pharmacy education has long given its students a deep command of the medicine: its chemistry, its formulation, and its action in the body. That knowledge remains the foundation of the profession. Yet whether a medicine ever reaches the people who need it, whether they can afford it, whether they take it correctly, and whether it improves the health of a whole community are questions the chemistry of a tablet cannot answer. They belong to people, prices, beliefs, supply systems, and public policy. Social pharmacy is the part of the discipline that takes these questions seriously, and this book is devoted to it.
