The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has directed all the state and Union territory (UT) governments and state pharmacy councils to take steps to immediately implement the Pharmacy Practice Regulations (PPR), 2015, notified by the Council in January 2015.
PCI has shared the letter received from the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) clarifying the procedures for implementation of the regulation in the states, considering education is on the concurrent list. The MoHFW clarified that the state government may declare that the regulations shall take effect in the state at any time after the constitution of the state pharmacy councils.
