It states that Pharmacy is a patient oriented health service that applies a scientific body of knowledge to improve and promote health through assurance of safety and efficacy in drug usage and therapy.” In contemporary times pharmacy practice covers areas such as ‘hospital pharmacy’, community pharmacy’ and ‘clinical pharmacy.’
