Pharmacists in Nigeria and across the world celebrate “World Pharmacists Day”, today 25th September 2017. This event is being remembered and celebrated every 25th September of every year.
The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) established this great event in Istanbul to promote pharmaceutical care and services in all the nook and crannies of the world. The theme of this year’s World Pharmacists day is “From research to health care: Your pharmacist is at your service”.

The FIP president, Dr. Carmen Pena, highlighted that ‘the theme was chosen to reflect the numerous contributions the pharmacy profession makes to health. From research and development of medicines, to educating future pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists and providing direct care, we do all this in the service of our patients and communities’.

Dr. Carmen Pena also added that “we want to emphasise that pharmacists are backbone of health care in many different settings. But providing care does not begin in community or hospital pharmacies. Taking care of patients starts with recognizing the health issues of populations and developing medicines, policies and education and to tackle them. We pharmacists are often there at the very beginning of the process- when the first molecule that effectively treats a disease is identified”.

Pharmaceutical care is a patient centered outcome oriented pharmacy practice that requires the pharmacist to work together with patient and other healthcare providers to promote health and prevent disease, and to assess, monitor, initiate and modify medication to ensure that there is therapeutic efficacy.

Pharmacists in Nigeria are governed by Pharmaceutical Council of Nigeria (PCN) and the registrar of PCN is Pharmacist NAE Mohammed. Other notable pharmaceutical bodies are Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria and the president is Pharmacist Ibrahim Yakassai, Young Pharmacist Group-Nigeria(YPG-NG) and the president is Pharm(Dr.) Onimisi Peter.

My name is Pharmacist Franklin Obiefule and I am a Nigerian. “As men of honor, we join hands”.
