Abstract
The pharmacy profession has evolved considerably since its inception centuries ago. The ever-changing scenario in the pharmacy world has resulted in certain that pharmacists must fulfill, in order to provide top notch pharmaceutical care services to each patient. These criteria are more pertinent to pharmacists in the hospital and clinical settings. The WHO introduced the concept ‘Seven-star pharmacist’, detailing the roles each pharmacist must perform: care-giver, decisionmaker, communicator, manager, life-long-learner, teacher and leader.1
