FIP World Pharmacists Day

World Pharmacists Day (25 September) marks the anniversary of the inception of FIP in 1912 and was adopted by the FIP Council in 2009. As such, the World Pharmacists Day campaign is led by FIP every year, with the theme chosen by the FIP Bureau.

The theme for 2025 will be announced at the end of March 2025 — Follow FIP on social media for the latest news.  

In 2020, FIP also created World Pharmacy Week, extending the celebrations of the entire profession and overtly encompassing all sectors of the pharmacy profession.

World Pharmacists Day and World Pharmacy week provide opportunities for the pharmacy profession celebrate and make known the contributions it makes to better health around the world. It is also an opportunity to highlight our further potential in improving global health to decision-makers and the public.

As a service to the profession, FIP develops and offers a range of World Pharmacists Day / World Pharmacy Week campaign materials for use each year. Members of FIP are welcome to use the campaign materials to communicate and celebrate World Pharmacists Day / World Pharmacy Week. Non-members may only use campaign materials under licence from FIP.
