Pharmacy Lab Equipment for B.Pharm Colleges in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh
Pharmacy education institutions across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia face similar challenges in equipping B.Pharm and D.Pharm laboratories to the standards required by their national pharmacy councils. Scientico India has been supplying pharmacy lab equipment to pharmacy colleges in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the Philippines since 1993. This guide covers the standard pharmacy lab equipment list required for B.Pharm accreditation, equipment specifications aligned to international pharmacopoeia standards, and how pharmacy colleges in these countries can import directly from India.
