The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), made the request on behalf of its member organisation the All-Ukrainian Pharmaceutical Chamber.
“FIP will always endeavour to support our colleagues across the world, responding to their requests and not acting alone. We will always assess need against request, but our offer of support is universal and equitable. We are witnessing heroic efforts by the Ukrainian people and our pharmacy colleagues. It is truly moving, inspiring and terrifying in equal measure,” said FIP CEO Catherine Duggan.
The organisation said in a statement, “A world where everyone benefits from access to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines and health technologies, as well as from pharmaceutical care services provided by pharmacists, in collaboration with other healthcare professionals is the vision that FIP is working towards. FIP condemns all acts of violence or war causing suffering, and has long supported the pharmacy profession in humanitarian work.
