About Baqai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Karachi
Pharmacy along with medicine and nursing forms the backbone of our national healthcare system. Pharmacy is well established, well recognized and a very important discipline of health sciences. No other educational programs other than that Pharmacy provides the background to understand completely all about drugs. In view of the great demand of pharmacists in the country and abroad it is necessary to establish more institutions to cater the national requirements. The number of Pharmacists produced every year is much below the demand limit. The seriousness of the problems may be judged from the fact that for a population of about 170 million there are only about 7000 Pharmacists. According to an estimate more than 60,000 professionals are needed only in retail community pharmacy. Therefore, opening of new pharmacy institutions is a national requirement.
