This event is jointly organised by FIP, the World Health Organization and the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Research Programme in Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP).
Every year, the 24th of June to 24th of July marks Self-Care Month, with a focus on increasing awareness of this subject and available interventions, celebrating current benefits/ achievements, and calling for renewed commitments and action to expand health systems to include self-care interventions. Self-care is at the basis of healthier lives and populations, and therefore it is a pillar of more sustainable health systems and universal health coverage. As people around the world take greater responsibility for their physical, mental, and emotional health, they are actively seeking comprehensive and reliable information to make informed decisions, with or without the assistance of healthcare professionals, including pharmacists. This event explores global self-care initiatives and highlights how pharmacists can utilise these in their practice and empower the public to promote self-care practices.
