     A website for drug information centre has been launched last month to mark our presence in the global level. (www.dicalshifa.org)The departments complete activities  have been uploaded in the website and I hope that, this website will be useful in strengthening our efforts for information sharing with all the stake holders.

The unstinted support ,guidance and encouragement of Mr. P Unneen, Managing trustee and Dr T.N.K Suriyaprakash, Principal, Alshifa college of pharmacy in bringing out this news letter and website is greatly acknowledged.

Despite perinthalmanna being the hub of hospitals, patient care is still in its infancy in this locality. There is a strong need to inculcate  the habit of vibrant research in the mind of each and every health care professionals. Our dream is to strengthen research by bridging the gap between Doctors, Nurses and other health care professionals to reach the common goal of patient care. We are also looking at our academic rigor and evaluation criteria  and freeing ourselves responding to student need. 

This, time we have a coloum by Dr G.P Mohanta, A legend in the pharma field, whose contribution to this news letter has made it a special issue.

.

A write-up on ADR awareness class which was held at Alshifa recently will be a tremendous confident boost to all clinical pharmacist. Status of ADR monitoring in this hospital for the past few months also been included in this issue. Note on personality development class for Pharm.D and a brief note on -visit to  charitable institution by our Pharm.D students highlights the importance of  patient care, social commitment ,and leadership qualities one must have in life ,since the true aim of education  is  the process of man making.
