English 3, Post 6, 'How can your major make the world a better place'

I believe that like every health career my specialty has a role to play for the rest of society, I consider that in Chile the cost of medicines is well above what the common people can pay, so It is up to me and my fellow racers to see how we can change this from here to the future.

I see myself within this context working in the public health system, to try to deliver the best quality of care in, for example, a cesfam.

At the same time, I consider that like all professions, pharmaceutical chemists have a pending commitment to the environment, so that we can benefit the world with actions such as taking care of the waste that our industry produces, which in many cases contribute to the contamination.

In fact, this year a study was revealed that showed the concentration of different drugs and hormones that were found in the waters that would later be processed. The study emphasized that these treatment plants were not prepared to eliminate components of the pharmaceutical industry, so returning to the subject I believe that the industry has a lot to advance to adapt to the needs of the new world.
