Partnerships

The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has been in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1948. As such, over the years FIP has made considerable strides in its partnership with the WHO in order to expand initiatives that evolve FIP’s ultimate goal — improved well-being and health. FIP is in a unique position to advocate for pharmacists’ and pharmaceutical scientists’ roles in the global health agenda.

In 2011, FIP and the World Health Organization (WHO) jointly issued the Joint FIP/WHO guidelines on good pharmacy practice: standards for quality of pharmacy services. This document lists equity as in pharmacy practice as a minimum standard for good pharmacy practice. Since the publication of this document, FIP has continuously sought to support the WHO Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel which mandates inter-nation and regional collaboration to widen access to health care through health workers’ migration & mobility. Together these organization seek to ensure equitable access to care for all individuals, treatment of all healthcare professionals, and career advancement opportunities for all.

FIP is committed to campaigns demanding better representation of women in global health security. FIP has committed to support the mission, vision, values and goals of the Women in Global Health COVID 50/50 campaign. This campaign is based on “five asks for gender responsive global health security”.
The commitment FIP has made, as part of our FIP-Equity-Rx work, includes to:
  • Report on gender parity in its COVID-19 decision-making
  • Be transparent about its policies on harassment, providing evidence of how these policies were developed, and how they have been applied in practice
  • Define and determine the extent to which it, at all levels, including at the country level, depends on unpaid and underpaid work
  • Collect and publish, at minimum, sex disaggregated data
  • Design gender-transformative policies that support the collection and reporting of gender-disaggregated data.
  • Conduct specific research to address the role of women in global health security solutions
  • Amplify diverse viewpoints from women-led organizations to support a culture of change.
