Organised by the FIP Military and Emergency Pharmacy Section
Emergency pharmacists practise in arduous and demanding conditions, and often work closely with international and local organisations in humanitarian and disaster relief situations. In recent years, resettlement of refugees has attracted growing attention, because most of the refugees arrive in host countries with multiple and complex health issues, which may include infectious disease, nutritional deficiency, chronic disease and mental health problems. Emergency pharmacists are playing an important role in refugee communities in optimising the use of medicines to help sustain the health of their patients.
