Pharmacy Council warns against unauthorized inspection teams
ISLAMABAD, Nov 09 (APP):The Pharmacy Council of Pakistan (PCP) has warned educational institutions against individuals impersonating its nominees and conducting unauthorized inspections, advising them to verify the credentials of inspection teams before extending any cooperation.
In a public advisory issued here Monday, the Council said that it had received reports that certain individuals were posing as PCP representatives and conducting inspections of institutions falling under its regulatory jurisdiction.
The Council clarified that no such individuals or inspection teams had been authorized to carry out inspections on its behalf.
It emphasized that all institutions were formally notified in advance whenever an official inspection cycle was scheduled, adding that institutions should not entertain or cooperate with individuals claiming to be PCP nominees without prior official authorization.
The Council advised institutions to immediately contact PCP through its official contact numbers available on its website, www.pcpisb.gov.pk, to verify the identity and authorization of any inspection team.
It further urged institutions to report such incidents to the Council and share photographs and other relevant evidence to facilitate investigations.
The PCP said the information and evidence provided by institutions would help it investigate the matter and take appropriate action against those involved.
The Council reiterated the importance of institutional vigilance and urged all concerned institutions to follow official verification procedures to prevent unauthorized activities in the name of the regulatory body.
