GOA COLLEGE OF PHARMACY (GCP) The emblem of Goa College of Pharmacy (GCP) features traditional pharmaceutical and regional symbols that represent healing, medicine and its heritage. The Bowl of Hygieia (Snake and Cup) represents a medicinal potion or the preparation of healing remedies; the snake symbolizes rejuvenation, wisdom, and healing, as snakes were seen to ‘renew’ themselves by shedding their skin. It is named after Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health and hygiene. While her father, Asclepius, was the god of medicine (associated with the single-snake rod), Hygieia focused on the prevention of sickness and the art of maintaining good health. The green cross is a globally recognised symbol for healthcare and pharmacies, representing medical and humanitarian aid. The motto ‘Excellence in Pharma Education’ reflects the college's goal of training world-class pharmacists.
