In 2009 the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) officially designated the 25th of September of each year as World Pharmacists Day. This day was adopted to raise awareness of the role of the pharmacist in healthcare and to further this exact role through increased community involvement of pharmacists on national and local levels. As a proud and active FIP member organisation, the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa (PSSA) is pleased to participate in World Pharmacists Day and further the shared goal of increased pharmacists' involvement in the betterment of patient health and their recognition for such services.
