World Pharmacists Day is an annual event observed on September 25th to pay tribute to pharmacists for the role they play in improving global health. The day was established by the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) in the late 2000s during a conference they staged in Istanbul, Turkey. The purpose of the day is to encourage activities that promote and advocate for the role of the pharmacist in improving health in every corner of the world. The theme of World Pharmacists Day changes every year, and in 2023, the theme was "Pharmacy strengthening health systems".

Pharmacists are an essential part of the healthcare system, and the day aims to bring attention to pharmacies and the positive benefits they offer when it comes to health. The FIP encourages all of its members to get involved to make the event a success. Since 2020, the FIP has also launched World Pharmacy Week to extend the celebrations to include all aspects of the pharmacy profession.

The significance of September 25th for World Pharmacists Day is because this is the anniversary of the day, in 1912, that the International Pharmaceutical Federation was founded. The day is celebrated globally, and pharmacists around the world celebrate the day by organizing various activities, including seminars, workshops, and health camps. The day is an opportunity to communicate how pharmacists are transforming health through a variety of health services in their communities, including advising on healthy living, vaccinating to prevent disease, and ensuring that medicines are taken correctly, thereby managing diseases well and improving quality of life.
