The International Pharmaceutical Federation has designated the 25 September as World Pharmacist Day. The theme chosen for this year is From research to health care: Your pharmacist is at your service.
To commemorate this day the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Malta is teaming up with the Department of Pharmacy at Mater Dei Hospital to provide pharmaceutical services for the general public and to celebrate the contributions by pharmacists towards medication development, use and safety. Students from the Malta Pharmaceutical Students Association and the Association for Student Pharmaceutical Technologists will be participating in this event.
The community outreach activities organised between the 25 and 27 September will be launched during a press conference on Monday 25 September at 08:30 at the Valletta Campus. The press conference will be addressed by Hon Dr Deo Debattista, Parliamentary Secretary for Consumer Protection and Valletta 2018
