The session also highlights local and international resources to support strategy development. Recognizing that pharmacist roles and policy environments differ worldwide, the session emphasizes selecting frameworks, resources, and strategies that fit the local context while drawing on shared experiences. This session is a part of the FIP Academic Section and IPSF Micro curriculum.
