The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) in Pakistan marked World Pharmacists Day with an awareness walk and a cake-cutting ceremony at the AKU Sports and Rehabilitation Centre, celebrating the indispensable role pharmacists play in advancing patient safety, optimising treatment, and improving health outcomes. Centred on this year’s global theme, “Think Health, Think Pharmacist”, the event brought together AKUH leadership, pharmacy professionals, faculty members and staff to recognise the critical contributions of pharmacists to patient-centred care. “Pharmacists bring specialised expertise that is essential to effective treatment,” said Dr Farhat Abbas, chief executive officer of the AKU health system, Pakistan. “From optimising medication plans and preventing adverse interactions to educating patients and supporting long-term disease management, they are key partners in the care team,” Dr Abbas added.
