How it is celebrated: professional associations, pharmacies and universities organize public information campaigns and community events. Pharmacists explain their roles, while colleagues acknowledge one another's contribution to patient care.
The date has a direct link to the profession's history: the International Pharmaceutical Federation was founded on 25 September 1912. Its anniversary became the annual celebration.
