COMMUNITY Pharmacists around the globe are playing a key role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) Community Pharmacy Section President, Lars-Ake Soderlund, believes.
In a message to pharmacists, Soderlund, expressed his hope that "health systems and governments support our colleagues in these roles and to count on pharmacist pharmacists worldwide as key partners in the global effort to contain the outbreak".
"It is important to ensure that pharmacists in every country have the tools and resources to support their patients as we continue to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak," he said.
"Today, more than ever before, you are worth all the admiration.
"You make a fantastic effort for our patients, for our healthcare systems and for our societies.
"You deserve all the respect."
