On 25 October 2021, it will be the third anniversary of the World Health Organization’s Astana Declaration on Primary Health Care (PHC), for which FIP pledged its commitment to accelerate progress in strengthening PHC. In 2020, the WHO published its Operational Framework for PHC to translate the vision of the Astana Declaration into actions. To mark this date and showcase how pharmacists can utilise and contribute to the WHO operational framework, FIP is organizing the digital FIP Global Summit on Primary Health Care. The summit will host a high-level discussion with the WHO to explore the strategic levers needed for pharmacists to strengthen primary health care.

At the end of this session, participants will:

1. Learn about WHO’s operational framework on primary health care to translate vision into actions
2. Explore initiatives from FIP member organizations on primary health care
3. Engage in a high-level discussion on strategic priorities needed for pharmacists to strengthen primary health care

3D printing offers the potential to revolutionise the production of pharmaceuticals targeted to the gastrointestinal tract by offering a flexible drug product manufacturing platform that can adapt readily to changing market and patient needs.
When will a pharmacist be able to use each patient’s individual information — such as age, race, gender or constitution — to produce their optimal medication dose, rather than relying on a standard set of doses? Could there be a time when a pharmacist will be able to print drugs in a complex construct of layers? When will patients be able to print their medicines at home?

Describe the generalities related to 3D printing of medicines.
Understand the opportunities, issues and regulation related to 3D printing of medicines.
Learn how different technological tools allow personalised 3D printed medicines.
Outline a practical experience in 3D printing in pharmacies

Despite all good intentions, all humans carry unconscious biases. How do these impact our ability to provide culturally appropriate care to our patients? This interactive session is meant to target all pharmacists and educators in practice to promote understanding on the influence of unconscious bias on health disparities, like COVID-19. Specifically, experts will share the neuroscience of how implicit bias, strategies to disrupt bias, and address how bias can influence our patient care interactions.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Define implicit bias and its impact on health disparities.
2. Discuss the impact of unconscious bias and how it affects our relationships with patients, students, and colleagues.
3. Identify and reflect on own biases.
4. List strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in pharmacy practice to improve patient-centred care.

In this event on World AIDS day, we will explore the different roles pharmacists can have in the prevention and screening of HIV infections and the care and support to people living with HIV. Pharmacists can play an important support role for people living with HIV, through the management of their medication, education for prevention and treatment, but also through HIV prevention through dispensing and providing support to preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), HIV testing and harm reduction strategies for IV drugs users.

The World Health Organization estimates that around 38 million people live with HIV globally. Although there is still no cure for HIV, with the advancement of therapies and increasing access to effective HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, including for opportunistic infections, HIV infection has become a manageable chronic health condition, enabling people living with HIV to lead long and healthy lives.

Learning objectives:
1. Describe the burden and characteristics of HIV globally.
2. Understand the possibilities of involvement of pharmacists in the clinical care of people living with HIV.
3. Describe the role of pharmacists in PrEP-related services.

The FIP Development Goals Digital Programme “Setting goals for the decade ahead” is a comprehensive online event series providing coverage of the 21 goals over 21 events in 2021.

The Global Advanced development framework (GADF) was developed to support the professional development and recognition of the pharmacy workforce everywhere and the Global Competency Framework (GbCF) was developed by the FIP as a focused support structure for early career pharmacists.  This digital event seeks to create more awareness for the GADF and GbCF and to enable young pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists have a better understanding of their structure.

This is an important event in the region due to the presence of international, well-known, keynote speakers and the participation and support of international associations. The event will bring together regulatory and science key professionals as well pharmaceutical industry and academia to share experiences, perspectives, insights and the latest regulation and technical development.

The Theme of this conference is the regulatory aspects related to bioequivalence and the objective is to discuss current international trends and updates in bioequivalence assessment, biowaivers, bioanalytics, dissolution and procedures. 

The conference will provide a unique opportunity for regulators, members of the pharmaceutical industry and academics in MENA region to interact with international experts and obtain information on current and innovative trends in the areas of bioequivalence, biowaivers, bioanalysis, and dissolution testing.
