World Pharmacists Day

“Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures” is the theme of World Pharmacists Day on 25 September 2026.

As healthcare needs continue to evolve — driven by demographic change, noncommunicable diseases, digital transformation and climate pressures —empowering pharmacists with the skills, recognition and system support they need has never been more important.

Pharmacists’ critical contribution to prevention, access to care, health system resilience and sustainability is highlighted in this year’s theme “Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures”. As global health challenges intensify, FIP, the global leader in advancing pharmacy, calls on governments, policymakers, regulators, health insurers and the public to strengthen supportive policies, invest in education and ensure the full integration within health systems.

“Empowering pharmacists means equipping them with the competencies, recognition and working environments necessary to meet evolving health needs,” said FIP president Mr Paul Sinclair, AM. “Pharmacists are uniquely positioned at the intersection of medicines supply, scientific innovations and patient care delivery. When they are enabled to practise to the full extent of their expertise, health systems are more accessible, more responsive and more sustainable.”
FIP emphasises that empowering the profession is not optional, but essential to building stronger, future-ready systems.

Every day, pharmacists across the world address critical health needs. World Pharmacists Day is our opportunity to celebrate and make visible the profession’s contributions to better health outcomes. It is also a time to advocate for the full integration of pharmacists into health strategies and to remind governments, institutions, and stakeholders that investing in pharmacists is investing in a healthier future for all.

Join the FIP campaign

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 Board. In 2020, FIP also created World Pharmacy Week, extending the celebrations of the entire profession and overtly encompassing all sectors of the pharmacy profession. Any reference to “World Pharmacists Day” or “World Pharmacy Week” should, therefore, include FIP.
