FIP makes clear the value of pharmacists in the global fight against Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), in a statement of policy published today. 

NCDs pose one of the greatest health risks for humanity, demanding new answers and creative solutions from health systems and healthcare professionals. 

“This policy statement renews the commitment of the pharmacy profession to the prevention of NCDs, and the optimal detection and care of patients living with NCDs,” said Ms Eeva Teräsalmi, FIP vice president and chair of its NCD Policy Committee.
