May be it took 5 decades to establish pharmacuetical care in those countries where the role of pharmacist is well established in the clinics. Here also in some of the hospitals especially in corporate hospitals pharmacists are consulted for the pharmacuetical knowledge.
It took many years to establish the clincial pharmacy over there. Here also there will be situations and conditions which demand the services of clinical pharmacist, community pharmacist and hospital pharmacist, at that time like what and how it happened in developed countires , similarly changes will take place,

For example, with the blessings and permission of Central govt, has introduced the Pharm D degree education program . These pharmacist will have exposure to clinical pharmacy.
with in three years first batch of Pharm D Berreculate are avialble for service,
what a change, it happened sileantly,
The acceptance of the Pharm D as a staff of hospital staff wiil be there , just wait and see

Dear Himanshu,
Over the time scale it is not only the pharmacuetical care almost all the developments take time to get accepted in a tradational society like ours.We Indians have our own concept like to care , protect the pharmacuetical industry hence our Government is intrested in policies to have health care polices that are product oriented than patient oriented. It is also coming to the notice of many of us what are the pitfalls of such an approch,
hence the picture in India is also pising for change,
it may change but takes time,

Dear Khan,
Pharmacuetical care is the mode of practice which is in its infancy.There is a need for all of us ( we the Pharmacists) to nurture and make it grow as fast as possible.
There is a demand for services where in patients are getting benifited you are right it is not very widely practised.

we the pharmacist should take it as a chalange and help the patients where ever and whenever we get an oppurtunity to do so,

Dear Faria,
Pharmacuetical care is a professional oppurtunity to establish and divert the product oriented society to the patient oriented society.
Now the fear among the youngster is about thier future in the field.
Just tell me how do we justify the industry claim that consume more medicine to stay healthy, that how the pharmacuetical care has grown over in developed countires..

It is very important to think about patients who are near and dear to us to protect from unnessary exposure to drugs, irrational use of medicine,
these are the issues challenging every one of us, we the pharmacisits should volunteer for the cuase. the oppurtunites and remuneration will just fallow,
