| Abstrakt: | The role of clinical pharmacists or oncology pharmacists in pediatric oncology has been established as important in anticancer regimen review, dose calculation, recommendation, chemocounseling, identification of drug-related problems, its resolution, and, prevention and monitoring of adverse drug reactions within high-income countries. With several hospitals providing pediatric oncology services in Nepal, clinical pharmacist involvement in these hospitals is very poor. Upon reviewing the reputed organization and association focused on pediatric oncology pharmacy practice, it looks imperative for Nepal to initiate clinical pharmacy services which will further help in improving patient health outcomes. As such in this commentary, we try to accentuate the pediatric oncology services and pediatric pharmacy practice within Nepal and try to pinpoint the potential areas for clinical pharmacists to focus if they intend to provide services in pediatric oncology pharmacy practice.
