PhD thesis, Universiti Sains Malaysia.
Abstract
Sejak sedekad yang lalu, profesion dalam bidang farmasi mulai berubah dengan ketaranya dari segi perkhidmatan kesihatan terhadap pesakit dan penduduk secara keseluruhannya. Dalam tempoh perubahan ini, ahli farmasi, terutamanya di negaranegara maju, begitu dihormati dalam sistem penjagaan kesihatan. Sebaliknya, di negara yang sedang membangun, perkhidmatan dan kepakaran yang ditawarkan oleh ahli farmasi tidak dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya. Di samping itu, peranan mereka sebagai
profesional penjagaan kesihatan tidak dianggap penting sama ada oleh komuniti atau penyedia penjagaan kesihatan lain, terutamanya doktor dan jururawat.
In the last decade, pharmacy profession had transformed tremendously in terms of health and pharmaceutical service provision to both patients and general population. Within this practice transformation, pharmacists, especially those in developed countries, now occupy a respectable position within the healthcare system. In contrast, services and expertise offered by pharmacists in developing countries are still underutilized, and their role as healthcare professionals is not deemed to be important either by the community or by other healthcare providers, especially doctors and nurses.
