nnThe Pharmacists’ role in the health system is very strategic. Their presence is important in each and every process – from research, production, distribution, right until patients receive the medicine they need in order to ensure the proper implementation of the principles of good manufacturing, distribution, and pharmacy practice. Similarly in health services, the role of pharmacists is vital in the process of selection, administration, and promoting adherence in the use of medicines by patients. In this time where concerted efforts are made by different sectors to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, pharmacists, as health practitioners are further expected to embrace their role in the efforts to increase public health literacy.nnA systems approach will make pharmacists more effective in fulfilling their role in national development. In the macro context, the approach cannot be separated from the current pharmaceutical systems. Pharmaceutical system consists of all structures, people, resources, processes, and their interactions within the broader health system that aim to ensure equitable and timely access to safe, effective, quality pharmaceutical products and related services that promote their appropriate and cost-effective use to improve health outcomes. The function of pharmacists within the healthcare system is directly correlated with the country’s development. More developed countries often have more empowered pharmacists that are able to deliver the most optimal health outcome and the same case applies with the competence and capacity of pharmacists to fulfill the demands of the health system.nnCountries in the Asian region are quite diverse, and the value and function of pharmacists within each of their countries varying health systems are just as diverse. Some countries are quite advanced in recognizing the value of their pharmacists while many are still far from ideal. Despite the diversity, it is still possible to look at our common experiences and values. The people of Asia share a lot of similar cultural characteristics, historical experiences, and life values and I believe that these similarities are our main capital that will enable pharmacists from different countries to help each other and share knowledge and experiences in building and developing pharmaceutical systems in their own work settings. FAPA as a federation for pharmaceutical associations from Asian countries is prepared to serve as a platform to enable knowledge, experience, and skill transfer for pharmacists in Asia.nnIn addition to our highly-attended biennal scientific congress that have run for decades, FAPA strives to work towards developing opportunities for learning and collaboration through leadership forums and workshops on the most relevant issues in between each congress year.nnFAPA also encourages and supports our twenty-four (24) member associations in developing the pharmacy profession as stated in our vision: to be the leading international pharmacy organization, guiding Asian pharmacists and pharmacy associations to achieve professional excellence, and contribute towards making medicines safe, effective, accessible and affordable, thus, ensuring optimum health outcomes.nnI invite our pharmacist colleagues in Asia, as individuals and as members of their professional associations, to step forward and join in paving the way for a better pharmacy profession. We welcome all of Asia’s pharmacists to FAPA.nn n
