Worldwide, pharmaceutical care has been recognized as the primary mission of pharmacy. According to the philosophy of pharmaceutical care, pharmacist is not only responsible to dispense the medicines but also responsible to improve the patient's quality of life. Pharmaceutical care practice is required to be introduced in the developing countries to decrease drug related mortality and morbidity. This paper aimed to highlight the quality of pharmaceutical care practice in the developing countries, predominantly in Pakistan. The paper highlights the health status and current scenario and barriers to pharmaceutical care practice in Pakistan. Pharmacists in Pakistan are not much involved in the provision of pharmaceutical care services due to a number of barriers that include insufficient number of pharmacists, lack of proper time, inadequate skills and training, lack of fmancial support and limited recognition of pharmacists in the public. A majority of community pharmacies are running without a pharmacist under the supervision of unprofessional personnel.
在全球范围内，药学服务已被视为药学的主要使命。根据药学服务理念，药剂师不仅有责任调配药品，还负责提高患者的生活质量。发展中国家需要引入药学服务实践，以降低与药物相关的死亡率和发病率。本文旨在突出发展中国家，尤其是巴基斯坦的药学服务实践质量。该论文强调了巴基斯坦的健康状况、当前形势以及药学服务实践的障碍。由于一些障碍，包括药剂师数量不足、缺乏足够时间、技能和培训不足、缺乏资金支持以及公众对药剂师的认可度有限，巴基斯坦的药剂师在提供药学服务方面参与度不高。大多数社区药房在非专业人员的监督下运营，没有药剂师在场。
