To help promote GPP in Bangladesh, BHB has maintained a Facebook page since 2018 with now more than 20,000 followers. Followers are mainly dispensers, pharmacy educators, pharmacy regulators, and medicine shop owners. In addition to promoting awareness of GPP and topics such as antimicrobial resistance and COVID-19, the page also covers Q&As and includes follower interactions and circulates video tutorials to help medicine shop dispensers and owners to polish their skills in pharmacy management and GPP.
The links to the video tutorials are below:
- How to register using the pharmacy management software

- How to submit an online application for a new or renewal drug license through DDA’s automated drug licensing and renewal system
- BHB’s eLearning course
DGDA officials also post to the Facebook page. Recently, Ms. Sirajum Munira, DGDA Superintendent of Drugs, Moulvibazar district, provided a wonderful brief on the model pharmacy and model medicine shop program in her district.
