Medicines, Regulation and Practice (Hardcover)

This groundbreaking volume unpacks the intricate relationship between medicine regulation, pharmacy practice, and public health impact in Ghana and beyond. Drawing from Act 851, Act 857, FDA Ghana frameworks, and Pharmacy Council regulations, the book traces how regulatory systems safeguard product quality, promote rational use, and reinforce professional ethics. It further examines global and continental trends—WHO, ICH, Africa CDC, and AMA initiatives—demonstrating how these shape national policy and practice. Through real-life Ghanaian case studies, flow diagrams, and compliance toolkits, readers learn how to apply regulatory science in community, hospital, and industrial pharmacy settings. By linking public health objectives to professional accountability, the textbook positions the pharmacist as a key player in advancing universal health coverage, patient safety, and rational medicine use across the continuum of care.
