It is my pleasure to welcome you all on behalf of the Organizing Committee to the 1^st Pharmaceutical Conference and Exhibition on Current and Future Perspectives of Pharmacy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is difficult to overstate the importance of such a meeting in our region to present the wide-ranging work and interest of the professionals working in the field of pharmacy and medicine, whether it is in research, study, industry or pharmacy practice. The world of pharmacy is an exciting area in which to work and study, and we’ll continue to meet and bring inspired people together in forums like this, to ensure our pharmacists and other health professionals remain at the cutting edge. We believe this conference will create an occasion to share issues and learn from best practice on the international stage in the field of pharmacy. The conference will offer the opportunity to look at and share ongoing work on recent advancements in the pharmaceutical arena.
