THE TEXTBOOK OF SOCIAL AND PREVENTIVE PHARMACY

It is with great pleasure that we introduce the first edition of the textbook on “Social And
Preventive Pharmacy”. This book further elucidates and clarifies simple socially related
concepts needed for pharma students to get through the first course of BP 802T.
This book is a sincere attempt to concepts and vocabulary understandable to students and field
experts alike. I have tried to simplify the concepts for ease of grasping even for the first year
students.
The text was put through great lengths to keep it error-free and convey the subject in a style
that is understandable to students. However, any recommendations and helpful criticism would
be much appreciated and included in a subsequent edition.At the end of the course student will
be able to:
1. Concept of health and disease

3. Preventive medicine
4. National health programs
5. Community services in rural
