Health Science academy (HSA)


Health Science Academy (HSA) is a small to medium sized private Further Education and Training (FET) institution focusing on training and education in the pharmaceutical industry and the healthcare sector. HSA students include doctors, nurses, pharmacist's assistants and pharmacists. The pharmacy workforce is a critical part of any health system, and planning the South African pharmacy workforce is important if high quality pharmaceutical services are to be delivered to the whole population. This includes the production of pharmacists and pharmacy support workers, and the optimal use of existing pharmacy personnel. It is estimated that there are 13 550 pharmacists in South Africa and an additional 607 who are presently serving their community service year. All areas of pharmacy practice in the country report shortages: community, hospital, industry, and academia, with vacancy rates for pharmacists of up to 76% reported in the public sector in one province.
