FIP Council several years ago at the FIP Congress in Istanbul, designated September 25 as the World Pharmacists Day.

Pharmacist Day

With the pharmacist day coming up on 25 September, the
Pharmacy Council of India, State Pharmacy Councils, pharmacy
organizations and professionals are gearing up to promote, plan
and implement the programs that advocate the role of the
pharmacist in health care.

What is Pharmacist Day

It’s a day to celebrate the one million registered pharmacists in
India who work hard to keep the society healthy. As most of these
pharmacists work silently behind the scene, there arises a need to
recognize their hard work and contribution to the society.
Most of the people are unaware of the range of services offered by
pharmacists and know them as a person who simply dispenses
medicines. ‘But, that’s not the only work that the Pharmacist
does’.
