Come January, the Gujarat Pharmacy Council is all set to introduce online registration of pharmacists in the state in an attempt to ease the months-long process.
The online facility has come has a major relief for the pharmacists, who otherwise have to come to Ahmedabad to apply for the posts.
The new facility will also reduce the waiting period for issuing registration numbers to 15 days from 45 to 60 days for the candidates who have studied in Gujarat.
The waiting period for candidates who have studied outside the state has also been reduced to 15 days, which was four to six months previously. GPC president Pradip Trivedi said Gujarat is the first state in the country to have the facility. Around 90 per cent of the infrastructure is ready and rest will be completed very soon.
He said that pharmacists so far faced a lot of problems while collecting registration forms from the GPC’s office and then submitting it back. But now, the candidates will have to appear before the council only once after completing all the formalities.Trivedi added that the council is planning to set up a Drug Information Centre , which will provide authentic information on drugs and its side effects.
