Day 22: National Pharmacist Day


National Pharmacist Day is celebrated today. The day is dedicated to the pharmacists who play a very important role in medical care. A pharmacist is the person who has the knowledge of the chemical composition of all medicines. They are the ones who can explain to you about all the aspects of the prescribed medicines and the side-effects of the drugs. There are people who have to take lots of drugs together. The pharmacists can only realize and warn you about the inter-action of drugs together. National Pharmacist Day is about recognizing the important role of the pharmacists. If you are visiting a pharmacy on the day, make sure that you wish your pharmacist a very happy National Pharmacist Day.

One of the ways to combat malaria is with vaccines, medicines designed by scientists, pharmacists. Malaria No More was born of a simple, startling insight: that ending malaria's death grip on Africa is the best humanitarian investment that can be made in the world today.

Malaria No More works to maximize results in the race to save lives by leveraging every opportunity to end malaria deaths as quickly and effectively as possible. Malaria No More is determined to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015—and they’re helping the world get it done. Malaria No More leverages high-impact awareness campaigns to engage the world, global advocacy to rally leadership and strategic investments in Africa to accelerate progress, build capacity and save lives.

Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease and recent progress shows that malaria's days are numbered — but continued help is needed. Together, through collaboration, education, and donations all concerned can make malaria no more.
