We are pleased to inform you about the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa/ FPE Bursaries South Africa 2023.
ABOUT THE COMPANY – PSSA
The history of the South African Pharmaceutical Association (PSSA) dates back to 1885 when a team of 7 pharmacists met in King Williamstown.
Since the meeting, branches were formed across the country and various pharmaceutical societies were developed. However, it wasn’t until the year 1946 that the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa (PPSA) was formed, as the result of the amalgamation of all the societies.
Today, the PSSA’s vision and mission are to be the country leader of the pharmacy profession, as well as to provide support for the pharmacy profession by way of improving the use of medication and greater patient care.
