There is no special quota in BCS and other govt.sector.Hospital pharmacy is not yet fully operational in Bangladesh. The working field of pharmacists in our country is very limited.
If our government takes necessary steps for increasing the working activities of pharmacists, the healthcare service of Bangladesh will be improved at a remarkable way.
