challenges of pharmacy profession in bangladesh

in Bangladesh,medicines are purchased and handled by non pharmacists and non graduates pharmacists.compounding has been largely replaced by the commercial manufacture of nearly all formulations.medicines can be bought in super markets,in drug stores  or at markets.they can also be obtained by mail order or over the internet;they can sold by medical practitioner dispensed by computerized   dispensing machines.

Under this circumstances it is important to ask the following points.DO we still need pharmacists?what is the value  of pharmacy services?
professions exist to serve society .hence the mission of the pharmacy must address the needs the society and individual patients.
at one time ,the acts of deciding of drug therapy and implementing  it were relatively simple ,safe and in-expensive the physicians prescribed  and the pharmacists dispensed . a substantial number of evidenced showed that  the traditional method of prescribing  and dispensing medication is no longer appropriate  to ensure safety ,effectiveness, and adherence to drug therapy .
the consequences of medicines error  are costly  in terms of hospitalizations,physicians visit s,laboratory tests and remedial therapy
