Pharmacy Ordinance, 1976
SBP recognises the Pharmacy Ordinance, 1976 (Ordinance No. XIII of 1976, dated 4 March 1976) as an important legal milestone in the development of pharmacy regulation in Bangladesh. Historical communication should distinguish documented legal facts from later political or institutional interpretation.
