60 Years “Assistant – Pharmacist” In Varna

A brief historical overview of the development of the pharmacy work, the profession “Assistant pharmacist” and the pharmaceutical organizations in Bulgaria on the occasion of the 60 th anniversary of the profession in Varna. Before the Liberation of Bulgaria, persons with insufficient pharmaceutical training performed the medical care of the population. After the Liberation, the “Temporary rules for the organization of pharmacies in Bulgaria” were created. According to the rules, the managers of the pharmacies were required to be master pharmacists, but until 1895 only 18 people have a legal degree in pharmacy. On August 11, 1883, a “Regulation for the admission of pharmacy students and assistants in pharmacies” has been established, which marks the beginning of the training of pharmacy assistants, whose training takes place in pharmacies.
