History of International Pharmacists Day
International Pharmacists Day has been celebrated since 2010 at the initiative of the Turkish Pharmacist Association. The date of the celebration commemorates the establishment of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) on September 25th 1912. This day is an opportunity to draw attention to the pharmacist's profession - responsible, needed, without which there would be no comprehensive patient care. The profession of a pharmacist is not only a profession, but a lifestyle. Pharmacists are ambitious, empathic and helpful people. Patient's welfare is most important to them. It is worth remembering that International Pharmacists Day is a moment when we can share our experiences not only between a group of pharmacists, but also by opening up to those who have chosen a different career path after graduation.
