ABOUT MEASURES FOR TRAINING QUALIFIED PHARMACEUTICAL PERSONNEL IN THE REPUBLIC OF TAJIKISTAN

The aim of the work was to study organizational, methodological and geographical characteristics of higher and secondary medical educational institutions of the Republic of Tajikistan (RT), providing education in pharmaceutical field. It was necessary to determine the number of graduates of these educational institutions over the past 5 years and assess their employment, taking into account the existing jobs in the country, as well as to prepare recommendations to improve the quality of training qualified pharmaceutical personnel. Detailed information was collected about the industry specialists who graduated from educational institutions of pharmaceutical profile in the period from 2014 to 2018, while the data of the National testing center under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan were also used. The methods of statistical processing, observation, comparative analysis, description were used. Data were analyzed by Microsoft Eхcеl 2016.The results of the study showed that the number of specialists with higher and secondary pharmaceutical education in Tajikistan is increasing every year. Thus, over the past 5 years, more than 6,000 specialists have graduated from the institutions. However, the number of jobs is quite limited. There are about 30 pharmaceutical enterprises in Tajikistan, which are engaged in the production and packaging of medicines. However, these enterprises, as a rule, are small, because the process of packaging of foreign drugs predominates, so the administration of these enterprises can not provide a large number of jobs for specialists with pharmaceutical education.According to the state supervision Service of health and social protection of the population of the Republic of Tajikistan in June2018, there were 2359 pharmacies in the country. If we take into account that in 2019 more than 2500 thousand students will be admitted to educational institutions in the specialty of pharmaceutical profile, and in 2020 about 2000 people will receive diplomas, even without accurate calculations, we can conclude that there is an overasupply of pharmaceutical personnel in Tajikistan.Thus, it is necessary to improve ways of providing Tajikistan with highly qualified human resources in the field of health. We have developed and recommended measures to coordinate the three main components of the development of the pharmaceutical training system: planning, training and rational use.
