The Macdiptoy Consulting Limited continues to blaze the trail in equipping pharmacists with the knowledge of handwriting and wellbeing of individuals, as it just inducted its Batch C Graphopharmacists.
The induction, which held virtually, had a total of 11 graduands with two septuagenarians aged 74 and 78 respectively, making the list of the batch graduands, and one of them now recognised as the oldest male graphopharmacist in the world.
Pharm. Oladipupo MacJob, founder Macdiptoy Consulting Limited, in his address to the inductees, commended their dedication and contributions to the success of the cohort. He emphasised the significance of graphopharmacy, the ability to identify health challenges through handwriting and highlighted its growth since the training programme began.
MacJob stated that one of the lessons from the COVID pandemic, five years ago is that change is paramount and individuals should be prepared for change or allow the consequences of being unprepared overwhelm them. This change has fostered the growth of graphopharmacy, as the rivalry between medical doctors require strategy, not energy.
He said the induction of this Batch C inductees came with a lot of development as Chief Magistrate Yewande Aje Afunwa also a graphologist, administered the oath of practice and conferred the trainees with certificate of certified graphopharmacists.
The induction, had Pharm. (Dr) Brenda Yayra Opong from Ghana, as the Best Graduating Student with the highest percentage of 92.5, winning a cash prize of 500 US Dollars. The award was sponsored by the CEO of Kofikrom Pharmacy, Dr Kofi Addo-Agyekum.
Dr Addo-Agyekum, who was also one of the top five graduating students expressed his appreciation and congratulated the overall winner of the prize and other colleagues for their success while emphasising the importance of graphopharmacy and how the training has been an eye- opener.
The Chairman of Community Practice Pharmacists Association (CPPA), Ghana, Dr Emmanuel Ireland, an alumni, in his closing remarks also praised the efforts of the founder towards producing better graphopharmacists and furthering pharmaceutical practice.
