This week marks the start of the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA79) in Geneva, Switzerland.

Similarly to the past three years, FIP invited members of the Board, constituencies and member organisations to support the FIP team in Geneva and advocate for the role of pharmacists in health care systems across activities held during the week.

The 55-member delegation includes eleven FIP Board members, one Honorary President, representatives from four sections, 22 organisations in membership including two academic institutions, four early career colleagues and four team members.

FIP will deliver individual and joint statements on topics including communicable diseases, mental health and pandemic preparedness.
