Shalina Healthcare, is set to promote pharmacy as a profession in Nigeria by engaging tertiary health institutions in the country in the professional development of young pharmacists.

The Managing Director, Mr. Somnath Malakar, who spoke in Lagos during the grand finale of the 2019 Shalina Young Talent Award, SYTA, said the Award would be a sustainable project and we will keep investing in people who matters the most. This is one of the ways our company is reaching out to its community.

“Several trips were taken to seek opinion across many schools on how best to organize an objective and flawless competition. The result of those effort is what we have today. “It involved zonal rounds in various competing schools where each zonal champions were duly recognized and celebrated amongst their classmates. I am glad that we have eventually discovered the ‘Best Pharmacy Brain’ for the 2018-2019 Maiden Edition,” he said

The students competed for the coveted prize money at the grand finale of the competition, described as the biggest hunt for the best Pharmacy brain in Nigeria. Folashade Salako, a final year student of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, clinched the award to emerge the best pharmacy brain in the country. She beat two other contestants from Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ibadan – Temiwunmi Akinmuleya and Adeboye Bamgboye to second and third places respectively.

There were debates, case studies, open presentations, clinical and pharmacological quizzes, among a host of other criteria to pick the eventual winner. President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, PSN, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, in an address read by Pharm. Okame Okah-Arae, applauded the initiative and declared that it is the dream of every parent to see their children excel.
