Today, 25th September has been marked to celebrate and recognise the role of pharmacists in the field of health sector. Pharmacists play significant roles in the world. International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) first observed the World Pharmacist Day in 1912.
The theme declared for World Pharmacist Day 2021 is “Pharmacy: Always Trusted For Your Health”.
The theme this year has been chosen to draw special attention to the trust in the health sector and the practice of pharmacy.
Why this theme?
Trust is a central part of all human relationships and a fundamental element of social capital. Trust is also essential to health care: there is a significant association between trust in healthcare professionals and health outcomes for patients. Across diverse clinical settings, patients reported greater satisfaction with treatment, showed more beneficial health behaviours and fewer symptoms, and experienced improved quality of life when they had higher trust in their healthcare professionals.
May God bless all pharmacists
