World Pharmacy Day
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has marked the 25th September of every year as the World Pharmacists’ Day since 2009. It encouraged all national pharmacist associations with official relationships with the World Health Organization (WHO) to celebrate the day and educate community members about the role of pharmacists in improving and promoting health care. At the 2009 Council meeting of the FIP Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, 25 September was proposed as the day to celebrate World Pharmacists’ Day as it coincided with the day FIP was established in 1912.
