Pharmacy Month forms part of the official Health calendar. The PSSA joins the National Department of Health (NDoH), South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) and Independent Community Pharmacy Association (ICPA) to bring a unified message – this is who we are, this is what we do, this is what the consumer of our services can expect.
Flyers and Posters is being developed by the team and will be available for download later
Pharmacy Month aims to raise patient awareness of the vital role pharmacists and pharmacy support personnel can play in the community's healthcare and improve communication between patients and pharmacists and pharmacy support personnel.
The theme "Think Health, Think Pharmacy - One Profession, Many Roles", aligned with the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) global campaign aimed at promoting the pharmacy profession's professional identity, will provide an opportunity to create awareness of the variety of critical roles pharmacists play and will continue to play as we edge towards Universal Health Coverage through National Health Insurance. The theme will further showcase the many roles pharmacists play in the healthcare environment as trusted and accessible healthcare professionals.
Pharmacy Month was launched with a webinar on 14 August 2025. You can view the recording here
