19. The pharmacist is expected to be a
communicator, a quality drug supplier, a trainer
and supervisor, a collaborator, and a health
promoter – all in one person.
Pharmacists are members of a health care
team and their primary role are as legal custodians
of medicines and consumer health educators.
Pharmacist’s Role (WHO Standard)
20. Pharmacist Status in Vietnam (WHO 2011)
“Clinical pharmacy” is still a new concept in Vietnam.
It was only added to the pharmacy curriculum two
years ago and is now a sub-department of the
Department of Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacy.
21. Pharmacist Status in Vietnam (WHO 2011)
• รัฐกําหนดใหมี “Qualified pharmacist” เพื่อขอเปดรานขายยา
• รานยานิยมจาง “Qualified pharmacist” on a part-time basis.
• “Qualified pharmacist” จึงกลายเปน “Signature
pharmacists” ที่ไมไดอยูประจํารานยา แตจะใหมา “sign the bills”
for scheduled medicines made out to customers by shop
attendants (less than an hour every few days).
• Most of them have full-time jobs in a chemical factory,
pharmaceutical company, or even public service positions.
