Nepal Pharmacy Association Protests Ministry's Actions in Council Member Appointments
Summary
The Nepal Pharmacy Association has protested the Ministry of Health and Cleanliness over what it says was an unfair and legally questionable process for appointing members to the Nepal Pharmacy Council. It has demanded transparency, impartiality, and an explanation for adding new names to the final list weeks after the results were supposed to be published.
Key Points
- The Nepal Pharmacy Association objected to the Ministry of Health and Cleanliness’s process for appointing members to the Nepal Pharmacy Council.
- The association said new organizations and individuals were added to the interview list after the final results had already been prepared, without a clear legal basis.
- It raised concerns about possible conflict of interest involving Nepal Pharmacy Council Chairman Dr. Kadir Alam and the Muslim Pharmacist Association of Nepal.
- The association said it is not asking for its own representative to be appointed, only for a transparent and lawful selection process.
