The occurrence of crises and disasters, whether natural or man-made, is both unpredictable and unexpected. We have always experienced disasters, wars, and economic and social conflicts across the globe. These crises directly impact the daily lives of entire populations, and healthcare is affected and compromised during these times.
Management of such situations from the pharmacy perspective is crucial to guarantee people can continue their treatment regimens and have access to essential healthcare services, including prevention and education. The access to medicines and services is a key area of work for FIP, as highlighted by the FIP Development Goal 18.
