10 CORE QUESTIONS TO PHARMACY LEADERS & REGULATORS (1948–2025)
1. Why has the Pharmacy Act, 1948 failed to legally define, protect, and enforce Pharmacy Practice, leaving pharmacists without statutory professional authority even after 75+ years?
2. How and why did pharmacy regulation become academically dominated, excluding practicing pharmacists, healthcare administrators, and industry professionals, and what damage did this regulatory capture cause?
3. On what rationale were thousands of pharmacy colleges approved without ensuring employability, practice roles, or healthcare integration for graduates?
4. Why were chronic inspection malpractices (ghost faculty, fake infrastructure, borrowed facilities) tolerated or normalized, and who is accountable for this systemic fraud?
5. Why has no regulator or professional body been held personally or institutionally accountable for repeated failures in education quality, professional outcomes, and patient safety?
6. Why were clinical pharmacy, PharmD, and advanced programs introduced without corresponding legal authority to practice, thereby misleading students and families?
7. Why has pharmacist presence at dispensing points, hospitals, and public health programs not been strictly enforced, despite clear patient-safety implications?
8. Why have professional associations largely remained silent or complicit, prioritizing events and positions over legal reform and whistleblower protection?
9. How has the absence of a Pharmacy Practice law contributed to public-health failures, including medication errors, irrational drug use, and antibiotic resistance?
10. Do you accept the need for a complete structural reset—including a separate Pharmacy Practice & Education Regulation Act, reconstitution of the regulator, and criminal accountability for past educational fraud?
