The primary aim of patient care is to provide the best medication that can produce the best treatment with minimal or no harm. This is only possible when the entire health care workers play their card well through correct prescription, dispensing, drug administration and adequate patient monitoring. However, the outcome is not always favorable because of the limited time undergone by the drug during premarketing studies as well as the bias by the pharmaceutical-industries to get approval from regulatory-agencies. As a result of this many safety data and information are lacking. Therefore, in order to preserve patient confidence and integrity of pharmaceutical products, post-marketing surveillance has become necessary. The methods commonly used in post-marketing surveillance include spontaneous reporting, data mining and active reporting which have meaningfully contributed to patient safety. Despite the improvement made, spontaneous reporting have some disadvantages such as underreporting, poor quality of reports, and cannot be used to determine risk rate. Pharmaceutical companies as owners of the drug have noteworthy role to play in adverse drug reactions monitoring and can adopt similar techniques used by the regulatory-agencies and academic research. Unfortunately, this has led to reporting bias. This has suggested the need for more awareness and educational intervention for health care professionals at all levels. The curriculum of training medical and health related students should be incorporated with PV programme. This appraisal has described how to identify adverse drug reactions and methods used in reporting, current developments in pharmacovigilance and role of pharmaceutical-industries in drug safety studies.

BackgroundDifferent forms of unprofessionalism in terms of lack of respect, preventable medical errors, inability to work together with colleagues, and discrimination while providing service these days can be explained by traditional perceptions of who is a good doctor and who is not.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the perspective of medical students and residents on medical professionalism.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study. A validated tool has been used to collect data from 276 participants. SPSS version 23 has been used to analyze and summarize data.ResultsOnly 30% of respondents were females and the rest were males. The overall mean score of professionalism was 174.96 out of 220. There was no significant difference between male and female respondents. However, students from a different phase of the study were significantly different in some of the core elements of professionalism. The role model was indicated as one way of learning professionalism.Conclusion and implicationThe overall level of professionalism was observed to be positive. However, medical education should focus on the core elements of medical professionalism through the teaching and learning process. Medical teachers should also focus on being role models for their students as students consider them to be a means for learning the qualities of professionalism. The teaching institution could strengthen efforts through locating and recognizing professional faculty members who can be effective role models.

Nonetheless, medical educationist must need remember not to increase stress among the undergraduate medical students as there are already of much academic load and stress [125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132].…”

The widespread accessibility of antimicrobials transformed the path of olden times. Many infections beforehand not curable found treatment, for example, tuberculosis. Scientist, common people thought once that humankind has able conquered microbial diseases. Nonetheless, irrational and unnecessary use antimicrobials create resistant microbes throughout the universe. Moreover, the development new antimicrobials have slowed down, particularly for those diseases of developing countries who have very poor financial ability to pay the research overhead of the inventor. Thereafter, currently available antimicrobials antimicrobials are loosing their efficacy and spectrum everyday against resistant microbes. Subsequently, once those diseases were treatable with no antimicrobials or very low profile agents now need the higher form of antimicrobials even multiple agents. As such health care cost is increasing every day which is beyond the economic ability of common people of anywhere of the world.
