Pharmacists’ humanitarian response to natural disasters
Every year on 23 March, the World Meteorological Organization commemorates the World Meteorological Day, highlighting the vital role of meteorology in safeguarding communities. Pharmacists play a crucial role in humanitarian responses to natural disasters by ensuring access to essential medicines, managing emergency supplies, and providing urgent healthcare services. Their efforts help maintain continuity of care and support affected communities through both clinical and logistical contributions in crisis situations. This event will spotlight the responses of FIP member organisations in various disaster scenarios, showcasing their efforts to ensure healthcare resilience in the face of natural disasters.
