World Pharmacists Day was the brainchild of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), with the council of this organization voting to establish the event in the late 2000s during a conference they staged in Istanbul, Turkey. The aim of the day is to bring attention to pharmacies and the positive benefits they offer when it comes to health and FIP encourages all its members to get involved to make the event a success.
Each year the organization announces a different theme so that associations and individuals in the pharmaceutical industry can put together national campaigns or local projects to showcase the good work they do in helping to improve the health of people around the world. This can include giving lectures, holding exhibitions, or organizing an activity day for adults and kids to demonstrate the many ways that a pharmacy can help them.
Pharmacist Akaeze Justin posted this throwback photo of him and his colleagues as students in the prestigious Madonna University Nigeria, on his instagram page. He wishes all pharmacists on call on this day, which doubles as a holiday in Nigeria, a happy celebrations.
The theme for this year’s celebration is “Pharmacist: Your Partner in Health.
DoctorsQuarters.com happily wishes all Pharmacists worldwide, a happy celebrations. Keep the flag of the noble profession flying!!!
