ABSTRACT

Health and socioeconomic developments are so closely interrelated that it is impossible to achieve one without the other. Although economic development in India has been gaining momentum over the past decade, our health system is at crossroads. Even though government initiatives in public health have recorded some remarkable success over time, the Indian health system is ranked 118 among 191 WHO countries on the health programme. The vision and mission statement of an organization is to help it in preparing the policies and guidelines for its smooth operation. The vision and mission statements need to be published and popularized among the staff and the public as guiding principles for the optimum functioning. The hospital pharmacy should function within the administrative and financial policy of the hospital. Nevertheless, the pharmacy can have its own policy and planning majors to improve the quality and efficiency in service.
