He added, “The congress offered participants an invaluable avenue to enrich their career while at the same time participating in the decision that would steer the future of pharmacy and health care around the world.
“The theme of the congress, ‘Improving Health through Responsible Medicine Use,’ calls on pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists to take their places as leaders in the health care team and do their part to usher in a new era of health care on global scale.”
