Pharmaceutical sciences represent one of the most dynamic areas of medicine and healthcare. They cover the processes of drug discovery, development, distribution, and clinical application. In recent years, rapid advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and digital health have significantly transformed the scope of pharmacy. These innovations not only contribute to the discovery of new therapies but also ensure the rational use of medicines, enhance patient safety, and improve treatment outcomes. This article examines the importance of pharmaceutical sciences in promoting public health, focusing on the integration of research, education, and clinical practice. By analyzing current trends and global practices, the study demonstrates the strategic role of pharmacy in addressing the challenges of modern healthcare.
