History of World Pharmacy Day

World Pharmacists Day was founded by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in the year 2010. At the council meeting of the FIP Congress in Istanbul, Turkey in 2009, the Turkish Pharmacist Association suggested this day. September 25 was chosen as it was the date on which FIP was founded in 1912. The Council unanimously accepted the proposal, and from 2010, World Pharmacists Day is coordinated by FIP and is observed. The Member Organisations with both structured, widespread campaigns or small-scale projects provide major contributions for the celebration of this day. Pharmacists Day brings the attention to the pharmacists to educate and encourage all its members to get connected to make the event a success. Each year, a new theme is developed that showcases the pharmacist and their positive impact on health. World Pharmacists Day 2017 theme is “From research to health care: Your pharmacist is at your service.” The theme reflects the various contributions the pharmacist makes to health care. The day highlights the importance of the pharmacy profession and its impact on improving health for all sorts of people.
