Pharmacy Council of India Cautions State Councils on Unqualified Registrar Appointments

Imagine a group that makes sure all the doctors and nurses go to the right schools and have the right training.

This group is called the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI).

They've noticed that some state groups in charge of pharmacists are hiring people to be in charge (called registrars) who don't actually know anything about being a pharmacist.

This is like hiring someone who never went to cooking school to be the head chef at a restaurant.

The PCI says this is wrong because these registrars are supposed to make sure only trained pharmacists can practice.

If they don't know what they're doing, bad pharmacists might get approved, which could be unsafe for people.

The PCI wants these state groups to only hire people who are actual pharmacists, so everyone stays safe and the profession is respected.
