The African Pharmaceutical Forum (APF), the 5th Regional Forum of the International Pharmaceutical Forum (FIP), has called for a quick formation of an association of faculties of pharmacy in Africa to enable practitioners practise anywhere on the continent.
The call to have a unified body among pharmacists in the region was made during the group’s 2021Regional Workshop tagged, “Technological Innovations for Pharmacy in Africa Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic”, to enable pharmacists across Africa share ideas without barriers towards the advancement of pharmacy activities in the region.
During his lecture on “Setting Up an African Association of Faculties of Pharmacy,” he stated that language barriers and cultural differences across Francophone and Anglophone countries are major challenges the Forum has in ensuring its establishment. “Partnerships with pharmacists around the world have shown the importance of taking action in solidarity and with trust. And major professional progress has actually been achieved through these associations in the areas of scientific research and educational policy transformation. So the setting up of an Africa wide association of schools of pharmacists is a substantial way to achieve a collaborative effort of strengthening the pharmaceutical workforce in the African region,” he said.
