E-DRUG: Motivating Pharmacists for Enhanced Contribution
  in Healthcare (cont'd)
--------------------------------------------------

Dear all,

As much as I agree that it is pharmacists themselves,
I am also convinced that in developing countries it is
the whole system including managers and training
institutions. I dont understand the system in Africa.
In my country, Malawi, I can define Pharmacy technicians
as storekeepers for medicines stores. There is a need to
redefine the roles of the profession from colleges to
the hospitals. I wonder how one can advance his
knowledge only with storekeeping and despensing?
