This is part of the campaign named “Celik Ubat Semua Selamat” which was launched by the Pharmacy Enforcement Division of Ministry of Health Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya early this month with the aim of promoting safe and quality medicine use. The campaign was a joint collaboration between Pharmacy Enforcement Division of Ministry of Health Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society (MPS) and International Medical University. The selection of IMU as a collaborator of this campaign was based on the institution of higher learning’s status as an innovative centre of excellence in pharmacy education. During the entire month of this campaign, numerous programmes related to pharmacy enforcement were conducted and the Bachelor of Pharmacy students from IMU were fortunate to be given the opportunity to participate in these programmes.
