Conclusions

Pharmaceutical care reflects a systematic approach that makes sure that the patient gets the
right medicines, in the right dose, at the right time and for the right reasons.

It is about a patient-centered partnership approach with the health care team accepting
responsibility for ensuring that the patient's medicines are as effective as possible and as safe
as possible.

However, there are challenges to overcome but which may be accomplished through policy change,
education and training, collaboration, and technology.
