This year’s theme is ”Pharmacy united in action for a healthier world“.
Why this theme?
This year’s theme aims to showcase pharmacy’s positive impact on health around the world and to further strengthen solidarity among the profession..
FIP invites colleagues from all sectors of the pharmacy profession to take part in the campaign and show the world how we are united for health, regardless of and overcoming conflict, different politics and cultures, and economic disparity.
“The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 3 sets out a number of health targets, including for non-communicable diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and mental health) and communicable diseases (for example, HIV, tuberculosis and neglected tropical diseases). We have seen improvements in many of these areas and our profession should be proud of and make known its contributions. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has hindered progress and it is imperative that we rally to build back better,” said FIP president Mr Dominique Jordan .

Molecules become medicines when pharmaceutical expertise is added – FIP
Why is there a celebration called World Pharmacist Day?
The purpose of World Pharmacists Day, which was brought to life at the FIP Council 2009 in Istanbul, is to encourage activities that promote and advocate for the role of the pharmacist in improving health in every corner of the world. Pharmacists are the reason why people get the best from their medicines, they are using their experience, knowledge, and expertise to make the (medical) world a better place for everybody. Moreover, they give access to medicines, advise people on how to properly take them and so much more.
Why is it celebrated on September 25?
The Turkish members of FIP suggested the Date because the?FIP ?was established on the same day in 1912.
Our strength is formulating, particularly poorly soluble drugs, requiring a combination of vast experience, a strong understanding of excipients, and employing cutting edge technologies to reach the desired outcome.
2 年Thanks Philippe. I registered as a pharmacist more than 50 years ago (bit no longer practicing) and this is the first time I am hearing of World Pharmacists Day. Best regards, Chris
