Abstract

The healthcare and pharmaceutical education sectors in Pakistan are plagued by deep-rooted structural corruption, professional misrepresentation, and administrative failures. This review article compiles evidence-based insights from several scholarly and investigative reports, exposing the systematic degradation of pharmacy teaching standards, regulatory oversights, and the dismal representation of qualified pharmacists in national health policymaking. It also underscores the urgent need for reforms
within academic institutions, particularly within the University of Sargodha and University of the Punjab.
