University of Karachi Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi launched Farmacia Magazine and the Graduate Directory of PharmD graduates for the year 2020 at the Pharmacy Auditorium of KU, on Monday.
The launch of the magazine was part of the broader Annual Pharma Career Fair, which is scheduled for Tuesday (today), where 26 companies of various sectors, including industrial, hospital, clinical, and others, will be present for recruitment.
The Dean Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences KU Professor Dr Raheela Ikram, chairpersons and teachers of the pharmacy department and pharmaceutical sciences, officials of various pharmaceutical companies, representatives of hospitals and human resource organisations working the domain of pharmacy attended the events.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi during his address said that the pharmacy industry is one of the major industries of the country. The public is now taking health issues more seriously and rather than doing self-medication, visit the doctors on time and prefer to buy medicines from reputed medical stores and choose medicines of recognised pharmaceutical industries.
He noted that the future of the pharmacy is very bright and believed that KU students would contribute a lot in this field. He said that students should have discipline and give due time to their studies and also take part in extra curriculum activities.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi said that KU has different societies and students should take part in extra curriculum activities. He acknowledged the role of students in bringing the magazine and said that other departments could also follow it by launching their departmental magazines.
He mentioned that the half-hearted attempts did not produce fruitful results and observed that serious dedication is required to achieve goals in life. The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi congratulated the entire faculty for not neglecting co-curricular activities and playing an active role in developing their students' capabilities and personalities.
Meanwhile, senior faculty member, Professor Dr Faiyaz Vaid said that if a person wants to be a writer, he or she must have the habit of reading and for writing, we have to read a lot.
