Primary care pharmacy practice !

Pharmacists are essential enablers of primary health care (PHC), with over 77% of the global pharmacy workforce working in community settings, according to recent
FIP data. PHC is one of the key themes highlighted in the upcoming FIP Global Situation Report on Pharmacy, to be published later this year:https://www.fip.org/files/content/priority-areas/Postcard_1.pdf

FIP's proposed actions

A new infographic mapping FIP’s proposed actions for pharmacy was launched today at a FIP side event during the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland: https://www.fip.org/file/6236.

“This infographic is a call to action. It presents proposed actions to our stakeholders—clearly mapped against the evidence base and the impact we aim to achieve. It is not just a summary of what we know, but a strategic invitation to work together in transforming pharmacy for stronger, more resilient health systems,” said FIP CEO Catherine Duggan.

This call builds on insights from FIP’s upcoming Global Situation Report on Pharmacy, to be released later this year. The report addresses workforce transformation, practice advancement, and policy change, drawing on FIP data, member input, and case examples from across World Health Organization (WHO) regions. It is underpinned by FIP’s ongoing efforts to generate evidence and track progress through multinational needs assessments and global surveillance programmes.
