Who are we?

The Essential Medicines Committee (EMed) is the voluntary wing of the National University of Singapore Pharmaceutical Society (NUSPS) that educates the community, especially the elderly, on safe and effective medication use through free health talks, medication reviews, and interactive sessions, serving as a practical platform for pharmacy students to apply their skills in health education, promoting better medication literacy and adherence.
