Esho.com presents Pharma Fest 2015 at NSU

On June 7, 2015 the plaza area of North South University (NSU) became the spectacular venue for the NSU Pharmaceutical Club's most important annual event, 'Pharma Fest 2015'. The title sponsor of the event was Esho.com. The objective of the event was to allow the students of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences of NSU, and those of other renowned universities, to meet leading pharmaceutical companies of the country, and also to exchange innovative ideas between those companies and medical healthcare providers. 

The Pharma Fest is by far the most important event of the NSU Pharmaceutical Club, and is always organised in association with the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Since its debut in 2010, this event has brought together all aspects of medical healthcare and healthy lifestyle closer to the public. The theme of this year's Pharma Fest was "Care, Share and Be Aware" – to signify the duties of any medical healthcare practitioner. 

Junayet H Khan, the president of the NSU Pharmaceutical Club, said, "A healthy lifestyle is not solely dependent on the care of medical healthcare practitioners, but also greatly relies on the combined effort of every other industry. Every initiative that is ever taken is done to improve the quality of our lives, that's why I am so proud that Esho.com was able to help us express this to the public."

The event was a day long programme, and it began with an opening ceremony with an inspirational inaugural speech from the Chairman of the Department, Prof. Dr. Hasan Mahmud Reza; a keynote speech from the Director of Industrial Affairs, Sanofi Bangladesh Ltd., Muin Uddin Mazumdar; and speeches from the Dean of School of Health & Life Sciences, NSU, Prof. Dr. G. U. Ahsan, special guest; Vice Chancellor of North South University, Prof. Dr. Amin U Sarkar; and chief guest, Director General of the DGDA, Major General Md. Mustafizur Rahman. The event also featured an exhibition by pharmaceutical and lifestyle companies along with the students and their projects, then moved on to a Pharma Olympiad and poster exhibition. At the closing ceremony, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, NSU, Benajir Ahmed and Treasurer of North South University, Prof. Dr. Gour Gobinda Goswami also spoke about the success of the Pharma Fest. 

The event concluded with a vibrant cultural evening, which consisted of music, drama, and a fashion show titled "The Pharma Walk" and performance by musical guest, Tahsan.
