But since there’s some communication in between the local (Fukuoka) pharmacist association and the Japan Pharmaceutical Association, for offering better arrangement for us in FAPA to attend, it would take more time for Mr. Magaribuchi to develop the programme in final.nnDue to limited resource, this workshop will have registration fee charge and number of registrants will be limited to two persons from each of our member associations in maximum. Should there be any update from Mr. Magaribuchi, our Bureau and member associations will be the first to be informed.nnFor detail picture, please refer to this article.nnAsian Good Pharmacy Practice Guidelines & RegulationnnCurrently we are collecting Good Pharmacy Practice related guidelines and regulations from around Asia, especially from our member associations.  We not only collected, but look for translated version (English) that we could also share on this website and to our Asian colleagues.nnWe’ve collected:n
