The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world and forced a new normal in all aspect of life. Governments, businesses, and people suffered the onslaught that left them confused, helpless, and saddened. The pandemic caused loss of life and livelihood, and destroyed some economies beyond repair. But the most impact of the pandemic was on the people’s health and quality of life. Healthcare workers were tested beyond their capabilities, and this brought about new challenges that call for health care practitioners to embark on new roles. Pharmacists are expected to face the challenge and they have to find their place in the fight against pandemics.

This session will provide an opportunity to explore what pharmacy practitioners perceive their new roles in times of pandemics to be. DR. Sanah Hasan and DR. Nadir Kheir will lead an interactive session designed to open opportunities for pharmacists to learn, and teach each other from their experience in these trialing times .
