Advancing men’s health through pharmacy: From evidence to male-inclusive services

Men worldwide face significant health disparities, often linked to behavioural, cultural, and systemic barriers to care. Pharmacists, as trusted and accessible providers, are uniquely positioned to address these challenges through prevention, screening, and tailored support. As part of FIP’s EquityRx programme and in collaboration with Global Action on Men’s Health, this digital event spotlights the Advancing Men’s Health through Pharmacy report. Through expert presentations and discussions, participants will gain practical, evidence-based strategies to implement inclusive pharmacy services, overcome barriers, and improve men’s health outcomes in alignment with equity and universal health coverage goals.
