This year’s International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) event theme is “Pharmacy strengthening health system”. The FIP wants to emphasise the important relationship between pharmacy and health systems. The theme also highlights the role of pharmacy staff, especially pharmacists who maintain and improve the efficiency of the health systems, thus bring benefits to the community and patients.

Many members of the Pharmacy Department attended the celebration

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Mr Mohd Fazli Shuib and Ms Nguyen Thi Hien offered their congratulations and thanked the team for their cooperation and enthusiasm of all members of the Pharmacy Department over the past year. Currently holding the position as the Head of the Pharmacy Department, Mr Fazli shared: “At FV, pharmacists are empowered, your knowledge and carefulness processing prescriptions has brought benefits to patients and effective support for doctors”. He also clarified that the pharmacy management at FV is not simply about giving the right medicine to patients, but is also linked to other services that the FV health system is providing.

Mr Fazli said the Pharmacy staff should be proud of themselves for doing meaningful work for the community

Representing the Pharmacy Department, Ms Pham Ngoc Xuan Son (Deputy Head of Pharmacy) sent her thanks to the Board of Directors and staff at FV for paying attention to the members of the Department. “I am always proud to work in a strong team. I think FV is a professional working environment that helps pharmacists develop their expertise and contribute to the development of the health system,” Ms Son said.

Ms Xuan Son is very happy to contribute with her good colleagues
