Pharmacists are health carers too

Abstract

As we approach World Pharmacist Day on September 25, the 2025 theme, “Think Health, Think Pharmacist,” offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the remarkable evolution of the pharmacy profession in Malaysia. We take pride in the fact that the current Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, YB Puan Alice Lau, is a pharmacist by training. Furthermore, Malaysia’s top research universities – UM, UKM, and USM now have pharmacists serving as Deputy Vice-Chancellors. Their appointments are a powerful testament to the leadership capabilities nurtured within the pharmacy profession
