Publications
Scientific research is a central part of my work as a pharmacist, educator, and healthcare advocate. Through my publications, I aim to explore and contribute to key topics such as pharmaceutical care, patient adherence, public health, and the evolving role of community pharmacies. These papers reflect my commitment to evidence-based practice and collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and countries. By translating research into practical insights, I strive to support a pharmacy profession that is informed, innovative, and always centered around patient needs.
