Eligibility for FIP Allied Organisation membership
|
Allied organisations are defined as organisations which themselves are made up of organisations representing the pharmacy profession across different countries. Their membership may be based on a shared geography, heritage, history, language, area of pharmacy practice or other common traits. These organisations share with FIP the goal of advancing and advocating for pharmacy across nations, and their affiliation with FIP aims to generate synergies and benefits for both parties. They actively support FIP's work to benefit their respective members and for FIP to support them and their members. In addition, the FIP Council decided in 2023 that accreditation agencies are eligible for FIP membership as allied organisations. |
 |
Allied Organisations provide support to FIP's work and contribute to the broader activities of FIP to mutual benefit. The support is two-way and includes collaboration for the advancement of the pharmacy profession.

Allied organisations are required to pay an annual fee as determined by the FIP Council.
The annual fees for allied organisations are determined based on the World Bank classification of the income level of the countries where the majority of the organisation’s members are located. For this reason, it is essential that allied organisations accurately report on their list of members and the countries where they are located.
Contact us at membership@fip.org to enquire about the fee for your organisation.
