Mandate
The University of KwaZulu-Natal School of Pharmacy and Pharmacology comprises four departments: Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology, and Pharmacy Practice. The school’s core function is the training of pharmacists to practice competently in all spheres of pharmacy, i.e., community/retail, hospital, industry, pharmacy education and training/academia, and pharmaceutical research and development.
Pharmacy is a dynamic, information-driven, product- and patient-oriented profession where the pharmacist, through inculcated competence and skills during the bachelor of pharmacy degree and the pharmacy internship, is committed to meeting the health care needs of all health-seeking communities.
The University of KwaZulu-Natal Association of Pharmacy Students is a student body that represents and serves the interests of the pharmacy students who attend the University of KwaZulu-Natal. It aims to promote the pharmacy profession and achieve a common goal of quality healthcare for all.
UKNAPS fulfills its mission by being committed to uniting all pharmacy students by ensuring a leadership base that addresses all student issues and improving their status and recognition within the healthcare structure. UKNAPS always strives for professional competence, the development of confidence through continuing education, and the provision of health care and community services.
