Ms. Mabel P. Ureta-Concepcion of the Philippine Pharmacists Association (PPhA) Aklan Chapter led the Aklanon delegation to the 58th National Pharmacists Convention. The event was held at the Astoria Regency in Zamboanga City just very recently.
Mabel P. Ureta-Concepcion is the chapter president and vice president for the Visayas of DOH League of Pharmacists. The national convention provided opportunity for the practitioners, experts and movers in the pharmaceutical field from all over the country to celebrate the role of pharmacists in the Philippines’ development.
Organized by PPhA, the three-day event served as a learning venue. It discussed issues relevant to the pharmacy profession.
“That event was very significant for all of us, Aklanons, because Aklan Chapter will be hosting the 59th National Pharmacists Convention in Aklan on April 28-May 1, 2009,” said Concepcion.
PPhA Aklan, better known as the Aklan Pharmaceutical Association, had been sending delegates to the convention in various areas in the country as proof of the chapter’s continued involvement in PPhA work to raise the level of concerns about the status of pharmacists. “Our attendance speaks of our deep and life commitment to creating a better environment within which the pharmacy profession will flourish,” said Annie R. Barbasa, Vice President of PPhA Aklan Chapter. /MP
