Celebrate and Promote our Profession
The World Pharmacists Day is celebrated every year on the 25th of September after having been approved by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in 2009. The FIP has encouraged all national pharmaceutical associations in an official connection with the World Health Organization (WHO) to celebrate the World Pharmacists Day in a proper manner through briefing the public on the role assigned to them and organizing activities that promote and support the role of pharmacists in improving healthcare. This Day was proposed during the FIP Congress held in Istanbul in 2009, to commemorate the establishment of the Federation in 1912.
