The Pharmaceutical Society of PNG (PSPNG) is responsible for professional matters of pharmacists in the country. The Pharmaceutical Services in Papua New Guinea have steadily improved over the last 22 years due to a number of structural changes, policies, legal and educations changes made by the government.
n
Our Pharmaceutical Society has played a role also in molding and shaping the face of pharmacy in the country. One area which we encourage our members is to gain international exposer so we are better equip to improve on our work performance, on research , on continuous updating of our knowledge to go with new innovations that are currently being observed and to assist in solving issues which arise in our field.
n
Pharmacy Education is perhaps the only component of Pharmacy in the country that has seen great change. PNG Pharmacists are now seeing open doors and many are being training overseas as part of continuous pharmacy education. With the number trained there is still a large gap that needs to be filled. All started in 1994 with the certificate in Pharmacy Education under the National Department of Health. This was upgraded to University level and conducting the Diploma in Pharmacy Technology was then upgraded to the Bachelor of Pharmacy Degree. The first locally trained pharmacist graduated in 1997 and up until now the school is continually producing pharmacy graduates, many of which have furthered their education overseas in Australia and New Zealand and receiving their Masters and Doctoral degrees in Pharmacy. We have come a long way and we have quite a journey to go. The Pharmaceutical Society of PNG is honored to be a back bone in modeling and also shaping and providing continues education for our pharmacist.
