THIS week's United Nations World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland will see the International Pharmacists' Federation (FIP) strongly advocate for the sector's role.
UN member states will be called on to "leverage pharmacists' expertise and accessibility" with FIP officials highlighting roles in areas such as non-communicable diseases, patient safety and infection control.
The FIP delegation to the assembly includes leaders of several FIP member organisations, some of whom will make official statements on behalf of the Federation, while FIP will also participate in several joint position papers alongside other organisations.
It's the first time the World Health Assembly has been held in-person since the pandemic.
