FIP is now reaching out to organisations of pharmacy students and early-career pharmacists through an online form to understand how it can support them during the crisis caused by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

FIP has already been in contact with its member organisations and academic institutional members in the countries to ascertain how best it can support access to medicines at this time. Earlier this week, the federation also set up a fund through the FIP Foundation to gather monetary aid from around the world (click here to donate.).

“Regardless of country, region and FIP membership, FIP is ready to support all colleagues in educational and health needs during challenging times. In response to requests from the pharmacy students and early-career pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists in Turkey and Syria, FIP is immediately working to assist with the emergency responders’ efforts and ongoing needs,” said FIP CEO Catherine Duggan.
