78th WHA Individual Statements
Honourable Chair, Distinguished delegates,
IPSF represents over 500,000 pharmacy students and recent graduates in more than 100 countries worldwide.
IPSF recognises the importance of strengthening the global architecture for health emergency prevention, preparedness, and response specifically in vulnerable communities. We remain committed to empowering young leaders and pharmacists to respond to health emergencies as we serve as a critical frontline in healthcare.
Therefore, IPSF urges WHO and its Member States:
-To strategically integrate pharmacists from the frontlines to the regulatory bodies to develop resilient health systems, and
-To empower youth as advocates and responders for health emergencies, ensuring innovative solutions and increased awareness of health emergencies in communities.
Thank you.
