THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) and over-the-counter healthcare business Opella have inked a five-year deal to strengthen pharmacists' role in advancing health literacy and self-care.
Building on a long-standing collaboration, the partnership aims to elevate self-care as a core component of sustainable health systems and to empower pharmacists as key enablers of patient health literacy and access to care across the world.
The core pillars of the partnership are sustainability in pharmacy and self-care; health literacy and education; and equitable access to self-care.
Both organisations retain full autonomy, under clear governance, compliance and transparency frameworks.
"This partnership strengthens FIP's efforts to support the delivery of Universal Health Coverage through Primary Health Care and the associated self-care frameworks and strategies by 2030, leveraging pharmacists as pivotal enablers of patient health literacy," said FIP president Paul Sinclair.
"Through a program of activities designed to drive measurable impact, FIP seeks to support national pharmacy associations and accelerate self-care adoption across diverse health systems," he added.
