| dc.description.abstract | Background: The pharmaceutical industry plays an important role in ensuring the
availability of safe, high-quality, and effective medicines. To that end, the
implementation of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is a must in every
production process. The Indonesian Air Force Pharmaceutical Agency (LAFIAU)
Drs. Roostyan Effendie, Apt., Bandung, is one of the military pharmaceutical
facilities that plays a role in providing medicines for soldiers, civil servants, and
families of the Indonesian Air Force, as well as being a place of learning for
prospective pharmacists in understanding pharmaceutical industry practices.
Objective: The Pharmacist Professional Work Practice (PKPA) is carried out with
the aim of enabling students to understand the role, function, and responsibilities of
pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as to gain direct experience in
the application of CPOB, quality assurance, quality control, production, and other
support systems.
Summary: PKPA activities include observation and simulation of various aspects
of pharmacy at LAFIAU, including the production process, quality assurance,
quality control, self-inspection, documentation, and production support, including
air conditioning (HVAC) systems, water treatment systems, waste management,
and drug storage in warehouses. In addition, students are also introduced to the
complaint handling and product recall systems, as well as the importance of
qualification and validation in ensuring drug quality.
Conclusion: PKPA at LAFIAU provides a comprehensive understanding of CPOB
implementation in the pharmaceutical industry, while strengthening prospective
pharmacists' competencies in technical, managerial, and regulatory aspects. This
experience is expected to improve students' readiness to contribute as professional
pharmacists who are oriented towards quality and patient safety. | en_US |
