FIP today committed to six actions to support the pharmacy profession through disasters. The commitments made at the end of a plenary congress session entitled “Leading in times of crisis and beyond”, are as follow:
- Support pharmacy associations with an overview of the skills that pharmacists might need when working in disaster preparedness or emergency situations
- Liaise with national ministries of health and other relevant stakeholders to increase the impact and outcomes for pharmacists working in these settings.
- Create visibility for the specific role pharmacists can also have to encourage colleagues around the world to engage in humanitarian activities.
- Share among FIP member organisations any opportunities for engagement and success stories in these areas, promoting cross-collaboration
- Continue to engage our stakeholders and empower our regional and national leaders and members to strengthen humanitarian work.
- Promote interprofessional collaborative work in humanitarian settings.
These actions will also support continued treatment for patients during disasters, the federation said. For the full wording of the commitment, click here.
