What are you most proud of in your professional career?
proudest moment in my life as a pharmacy technician. That's the time we realize how important our services are for public health.
The second thing is that I worked in a community pharmacy where the patients are considered family members because we give medicine with care, love, and cure. And we communicate openly with them; as a result, the patients are physically and psychologically happy. It helps the patients to easily recover from the diseases and go back to normal life. So, the patient comes back to the pharmacy to express their love, care, and affection. For me, these things are all the proud moments in my professional life.
