On the other hand, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh Punjab Technical University, Bathinda has also given its affiliation for 100 more seats of B Pharmacy.
Dr Anshu Kataria, Chairman, Aryans Group said that the pharmacy profession has remained a trusted profession for the healthcare needs of people. Now the role of pharmacists will be more after this pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragile healthcare system of the country. It has put the focus back on multiple challenges being faced by the health sector. There has always been a shortage of pharma professionals.
He further added that this crisis has served to highlight how vital healthcare workers are? Keeping in view, more B Pharma seats have been added as the demand for pharma professionals will not disappear in post COVID-19 scenario but is projected to increase in the coming years in both Government as well as Private sectors, added Kataria.
