The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has launched a bold new Strategic Plan 2025-2030 to guide the global pharmacy profession into the future. Building on more than a century of leadership since its founding in 1912, FIP is reaffirming its “commitment to advancing health worldwide through the power of pharmacy — uniting pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, and educators in a shared mission to improve health outcomes for all”.
As the global healthcare landscape faces unprecedented challenges — from workforce shortages
and economic pressure, to rapid technological change and climate change — FIP’s new strategy sets a clear direction for transformation.
The plan outlines how FIP and its members will strengthen the global pharmacy workforce, promote innovation and sustainability, and ensure equitable access to medicines and quality care across all regions.
At the heart of the plan is FIP’s ‘ONE FIP’ approach — a unifying vision that brings together pharmacy practice, pharmaceutical sciences, and education under one global movement. By
fostering collaboration across disciplines and borders, FIP aims to amplify the profession’s voice, shape progressive health policies, and ensure pharmacists are equipped to meet evolving health needs.
The strategy focuses on several key priorities, including:
- Supporting the economic sustainability of pharmacy practice;
- Driving digital transformation and innovation in healthcare delivery;
- Embedding sustainability and climate resilience across pharmaceutical sectors; and
- Aligning with the FIP Development Goals (DGs) and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote health equity and wellbeing.
“Pharmacy is evolving, and FIP is leading that evolution,” said FIP President Mr Paul Sinclair. “This Strategic Plan is a call to action for our members, partners, and global health collaborators to work together to strengthen pharmacy’s contribution to society and build a healthier, more resilient world by 2030.”
