Global Health Workforce Alliance Global forum for Human Resources for Health

The unique partnership between the UN agency for Health, WHO and UN agency for education, UNESCO together with FIP launched the Pharmacy Education Action Plan 2008 – 2010. It was in the spirit of FIP President Dr Kamal Midha’s call for participants to take a proactive and constructive role to address gaps and use innovative and participatory means to develop education that this initiative was officiated.  The Action Plan focuses on addressing bottleneck issues in pharmacy education such as academic and institutional capacity, quality assurance, vision and competency. The joint effort of these organizations facilitates a more effective, efficient and concrete approach as well as enabling a multisectoral platform for dialogue, learning and sharing of evidence and experience at global, regional and local levels.
