药学是卫生专业，有责任保证药品的安全、有效、合理使用。因此，它在全球医疗保健的提供中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，药学实践不仅在国家之间而且在国家内部仍然存在很大差异。然而，近年来，在一些关键因素的推动下，出现了显着的趋同。其中包括世界卫生组织关于药剂师作用的宣言、许多国家政治气候的变化以及药剂师本身对药品管理和药学服务目标的追求。本文探讨了药剂师开展的主要活动，描述了他们的教育和监管，并探讨了世界各地药学的现状。
Pharmacy is the health profession that has the responsibility for ensuring the safe, effective and rational use of medicines. As such it plays a vital part in the delivery of health care world-wide. However, there remain wide variations in the practice of pharmacy, not only between countries but also within countries. Nevertheless, in recent years there has been significant convergence, driven by a number of key factors. These include World Health Organization declarations concerning the role of pharmacists, changes in the political climate of many countries, and the pursuit by pharmacists themselves of the goals of medicines management and pharmaceutical care. This paper considers the main activities undertaken by pharmacists, describes their education and regulation, and explores the current state of pharmacy around the world.
