Objective: The objective of this study was to access the perception of non-pharmacy health-care students on the role and contribution of pharmacists in to health-care delivery in Ghana. Furthermore, the influence of factors such as sex, program of study and frequency of interaction with pharmacists on this perception was determined. Methods: A structured questionnaire was designed and administered to 670 medical, optometry and nursing students of the University of Cape Coast, Ghana after a pilot study was conducted. Results: The students strongly agreed that the role of the pharmacist is dispensing drugs, collaborating with physicians to prescribe medications. The students also appreciated the contribution of pharmacists in helping to reduce adverse reactions to medications. The students, however, showed little appreciation of pharmacists carrying out research or physical examinations and helping to reduce cost to patients. There was no effect of sex on the perception of students, although the frequency of interaction with pharmacists influenced their perceptions Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that non-pharmacy health students appreciate certain roles and contributions of pharmacists to health-care.

I wish to congratulate Dr. Constance U. Battle for her excellent discussion of the role of the pediatrician as ombudsman in the health care of the handicapped child. I have had the privilege of being associated with Dr. Battle during her pediatric training at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York. She expresses well the opinions of many pediatricians of this community. As a member of the Committee for the Handicapped, Academy of Pediatrics, Chapter I, I am involved in the development of a statement of philosophy and its implication for the provision of services to the handicapped child.
