Namaste and Welcome to Nepal! A Himalayan republic conjures up the images of snow-capped mountains and rolling green hills. Indeed, out of ten world’s tallest mountains, eight stands in Nepal, making Nepal a mountaineer’s dream. But Nepal has much more to offer than just the high breathtaking Himalayas.

A small country with an area of approximately 52,818 sq miles is diverse geographically as well as ethnically with more than 61 ethnic groups and 70 spoken languages. You will find rich cultures and vibrant traditions, exquisite temples and monuments as well as fast flowing rivers and tropical jungles teeming with wildlife, making your trip an unforgettable experience. All the people from different races and religions live in harmony and there is an ideal blending of Hinduism and Buddhism.

To cross a street in Kathmandu is to travel across centuries. Shrines, temples, palaces, palace squares, ageless sculptures and legends that are parts of every brick and stone and gilded masterpiece, make Kathmandu Valley a verifiable living museum. Nepal is the place where the ice-cold of the mountains meets the steamy heat of the Indian plains. It’s a land of yaks and yetis, stupas and Sherpas and some of the best trekking on earth. The Himalaya’s most sophisticated urban cultures took shape here, in the three great minikingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur - home to a world-class artistic and architectural heritage.

Nepal, as a state, was established when an ambitious Gorkha king named Prithvi Narayan Shah embarked on a conquering mission that led to the defeat of all the kingdoms in the valley (including Kirtipur which was an independent state) by 1769. Instead of annexing the newly acquired states to his kingdom of Gorkha, Prithvi Narayan decided to move his capital to Kathmandu establishing the Shah dynasty which ruled unified Nepal from 1769 to 2008 when the last Shah ruler, Gyanendra relinquished his power to make way for total democracy under the rule of a Prime Minister.

ABOUT NEPAL

2

There are four major partners in the healthcare system- Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing and Dental. Pharmacy happens to play an important role as it presents to the other three partners medications, devices and pharmaceutical care services which are a pre-requisite for any health care program for amelioration of disease and pain.

Pharmaceutical care practice areas can be broadly classified as Industrial, Community, Hospital and Clinical. Each of the four classes can be sub divided in to several categories/specialities which keep increasing with the development of the professional facets.

Knowledge is a living organism which grows, replaces obsolete parts with new functional ones and prevents an individual/society from becoming inert, sterile and insular by acquisition transmission, extension and discovering applications. The agencies which assist in this

process are universities, developed academic institutions, professional societies, information technology, industry, ethical pharmacies and hospitals. The foremost parameter is the individual who wishes to learn throughout one’s life. One should clearly understand the scope of literacy, education and knowledge and differentiate between them. In the twenty first century a new definition has emerged – learn, and relearn for survival.

The objective of this conference is to provide scientific, professional and technological training to all aspects relating to identification, standardization, formulation, preparation, distribution, quality assurance and use of drugs and medicines, dissemination of drug information and methodology in the prevention and management of disease, prevention of misuse of drugs and implementation of laws governing drug misuse and development of innovative ideas to further strengthen pharmaceutical healthcare.

The education should enable one to apply scientific methods, thoughts and expertise to fill positions of responsibility in education, pharmaceutical production, drug control, marketing and community, hospital and clinical practice areas.

ABOUT CONFERENCETomorrow’s pharma education and research for superior health care pose a challenge to policy makers, statutory authorities, educators and researchers.

Dear Delegate,

On behalf of Scientific Coordinating Committee, It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in this International Conference on “Recent Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences with a theme transferring knowledge from Education to Practice” scheduled to take place in Nepal from 25 - 26 February 2012 at Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel, Nepal. This conference aims to prepare a roadmap for future pharmacists and make them aware with current scenario and future opportunities in pharmaceutical sciences.

Pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences education and practice have seen tremendous changes

aspects of pharmacy profession. There will be cross-fertilization of educators, policy makers, practicing pharmacists and researchers in the field of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences. So this forum will provide us opportunity to:

• Exchange information, views and experiences in recent advances in various field of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences including educational aspects;

• Discuss problems that need to be explored regarding practice of pharmacy education and profession;

• Keep track of what – and who- is

current in the field.

So I urge you to submit and present your research

work relating to various aspects of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences including impact of

in its orientation of curriculum and practice in past few decades. There exists more challenges than solutions in terms of harmonisation of pharmacy education and practice globally. We are familiar with a saying “one size does not fit all” however we have seen that basic pharmacy curriculum always attempts to balance global and local need owing to the fact of global work force mobility. We have seen wide diversity and gaps in the status of our professional practice in various countries especially between developing and developed countries. So this conference aims to focus at the issues like pharmacy curriculum, its impact on pharmacy practice in various domain of our profession such as hospital, community, industry and regulatory affairs.

This conference could be a good platform for interface between educators, researchers and policy makers with the goal of sharing information and best practices relating to various

national health/medicine policy and future aspect of profession. We extend a warm welcome to you to join us in Pre & Post conference workshop along with 2 days of ideas dissemination and technical discussions in February 2012 in Nepal.

Professor Panna ThapaDeanSchool of ScienceKathmandu University

Dear Friends,

Pharmacy profession is considered to be an important technical profession as it contributes significantly in the development of health sector which is of paramount importance for a nation to grow. Pharmacy as a profession demands resourcefulness, dedication, discipline, a strong character and interest in serving mankind. Besides providing professional education and training, it envisages heavy emphasis on strengthening positive personal traits.

Every country, nation and society characterizes itself with a distinct culture. Culture can be said to be a way of life whichever the sphere-social, economic, educational, art, sculpture, religion, architecture, professional etc. The pharmacist over centuries has been able to evolve a culture which may be termed as “Pharmaceutical Culture”. It encompasses acquisition of knowledge and applying it in specific situations, sense of dedication to suffering humanity, integrity, objectivity and ethical attitude. The professional associations prescribe a code of conduct and expect its members to practise it. Standards play

an important role in the evaluation and accreditation. The society is going through continuous change in its health care needs and expectations. The health care seeking behaviour has shifted from patient’s passive role to active participation in therapeutic decision-making.

We invite all of you to this International conference to discuss all the charactristics and role of pharmacist. It also offers an academic treat for all pharmacist and healthcare professionals in the field of pharmaceutical science. This conference will have Pre-conference

and Post-conference workshop on February 24th and 28th respectively along with the main conference from 25-26 February 2012. I assure you it will be the best knowledge trip of your professional life.

Beside the conference organizing committee also invites you to meet the people from different nation & culture. Explore the world of pharmacy from tradition to modern with all the international delegates. Enjoy the beautiful scenic view of Himalaya and taste the mouthwatering cushine of Nepalese traditional food.

This pilgrimage site in southwest Nepal attracts devout Buddhists from around the world, who arrive to pay homage at the Sacred Garden where the ‘Enlightened One’ was born. A famous landmark is the Ashoka Pillar raised by the great Emperor who converted to Buddhism. Today Lumbini has been enlivened by the multitude of architecturally beautiful temples, stupas and monasteries built by various international Buddhist communities.

POKHARAThe natural beauty of Pokhara in Midwestern Nepal is simply bewitching. Forming the backdrop are the spectacular Annapurna Mountains with the magnificent fish-tailed Machhapuchhre dominating the scene. Adding to Pokhara’s enchantment are the three serene lakes of Phewa, Rupa and Begnas.

Pokhara’s bewitching beauty has been the subject of many travel writers. Its pristine air, the spectacular backdrop of the snowy peaks, the serene lakes and the surrounding greenery make it ‘the jewel in the Himalaya’, a place of remarkable natural beauty.

JANAKPURJanakpur has become a great piligrimage site for Hindus today. The most sacred sites are the Janaki Mandir, dedicated to goddess Sita, the Ram Sita bibaha(marriage) mandir, built over the spot where Ram and Sita were said to have been married, Ram Mandir, dedicated to god Ram and the holy pond Dhanush Sagar. Hundreds of Nepali and Indian devotees come here every year to pay their respect to the goddess at this temple.

The extraordinary ‘Durbar Square’ with its celebrated Golden Gate and extraordinary Palace of Fifty-Five windows reflects the glory days of the Malla Dynasty when art and architecture thrived in the three cities of the valley.

PATANPatan also known as ‘Lalitpur’ literally, the City of Artisans, lies 5km southeast of Kathmandu, and is home to the valley’s finest craftsmen who preserve ancient techniques such as repoussé and the lost wax process, still producing exquisite pieces of sculpture. The city retains much of the old charm with its narrow streets, brick houses and the multitude of well-preserved Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries (Vihars).

DHULIKHELIt is a small town at an altitude 1,440-meter from the sea level. The artistic skills and urban ethos of its Newar inhabitants have made this a place of charm and beauty. Once an important link in the ancient trade route to Tibet, the town has a glorious past that can be witnessed in the lovely buildings and intricate woodcarvings found along the shop-lined streets and in the temples. The place has many vantage points that offer a panorama of the low hills, valleys and the Himalayas. Sunset views are spectacular from here. Bird watching, mountain biking and hiking are the favorite activities of this place
