It is with excitement and anticipation that we lookforward to the 50th IPSF World Congress to behosted in Canada in July. Since the first IPSFCongress in London in 1949, our federation hasgrown to become a truly global network, repre-senting over 400,000 pharmacy and pharmaceuti-cal students from more than 91 countries.

Over the year our executive has been inspired bythe motivation and enthusiasm of our membersacross the world. Whether fundraising for the IPSFNeema Village Concept Project, or working hard tocreate improvements in pharmacy education, ourmembers make our federation one of the mostactive and exciting pharmaceutical associations inthe world.

Through our various public health campaigns wehave worked to raise awareness of health andmedication issues affecting world populations. Inaddition to the popular Aids Awareness andTobacco Alert Campaigns, this year IPSF began toraise awareness about the role of the pharmacist infighting tuberculosis (TB). TB is responsible for thedeaths of nearly 2 million people each year, morethan any other curable infectious disease. Thespread of multi-drug resistant TB, largely due toinappropriate antibiotic use, means that pharmacists are needed not only to support accessand adherence to medication regimens, but also topursue the development of new active compounds.

Through expansion of the IPSF Student ExchangeProgramme we have created a means forpharmacy students and young pharmacists to gaininternational professional experience working incommunity, hospital, academic, administrative andindustrial pharmacy.

Worldwide increases in spending on pharmaceuti-cals are outstripping economic growth and overallhealth expenditure. Spending on pharmaceuticals,however, will lead to improvements in health out-comes only if medications are used in the mostappropriate way. As experts in medications andmedication management, pharmacists are wellplaced to promote the quality use of medicines anddeliver cost effective improvements in health care.The education of pharmacy students to deliver

IPSF Annual Report 2003/2004

professional cognitive services is extremelyimportant. Studying and promoting educationalopportunities for pharmacy students has remaineda top priority throughout the year. Over the pasteleven months IPSF has contributed numerouspresentations at conferences and symposiums onpharmacy education across the world.

In 2003-04 we sought to collaborate proactivelywith other health related organisations. In additionto being granted Official Relations Status with theWorld Health Organization (WHO) in January, andmaintaining our Operational Relations with theUnited Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganization (UNESCO), IPSF was admitted to theWHO Stop TB Partnership in May, and submittedan application to join the Framework ConventionAlliance on Tobacco Control. At the upcoming congress in Canada our General Assembly will voteon whether to adopt the Code of Practice onTobacco Control for Health ProfessionalOrganisations.

Through creation of new partnerships with otherhealth care organisations, IPSF has undertaken topromote the role of the pharmacist in the rapidlychanging global health care system. In recognitionof the multidisciplinary approach required tomanage chronic and complex diseases, IPSF willcollaborate with the International Federation ofMedical Students' Associations (IFMSA) to organisethe 1st World Student Meeting on Healthy Ageingin Rio de Janeiro next June. In November 2005IPSF, IFMSA, the European PharmaceuticalStudents' Association (EPSA) and the EuropeanMedical Students' Association (EMSA) will organisethe first World Medical and PharmaceuticalStudents' Symposium.

Our executive strongly believes that on the eve ofour 50th World Congress, the internationa opportunities for pharmacy students and youngpharmacists have never been greater. I trust thatyou will enjoy reading our Annual Report for 2003-04.

IPSF Annual Report 2003/2004 66

multidisciplinary care for people with chronic and complex conditions. During 2003-04 IPSF sought to promote closercollaboration between students of pharmacy and other health related disciplines.

IPSF was privileged to be able to participate in the inaugural World Health Professions Alliance Symposium that tookplace in Geneva, Switzerlandz during May.

In June IPSF launched a joint statement with IFMSA entitled Working Togetherfor Better Health Outcomes. The statement called for training to work as multi-disciplinary teams to begin during undergraduate education, and in particular,for pharmaceutical and medical students' associations to collaborate on projectsand activities at a local, national and regional level.

IPSF and IFMSA will team up to co-organise the 1st World Student Meeting onHealthy Ageing to take place in conjunction with the World Congress ofGerontology in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in June 2005.

In November 2005, IPSF, IFMSA, EPSA and EMSA will hold the first World Medical and Pharmacy Students' Symposiumin Malta.


Throughout 2003-04 IPSF has taken anactive role in promoting good quality andinnovative pharmacy education. The edu-cational opportunities for students andyoung pharmacists differ greatly in countries represented by IPSF.

Through joint authorship with EPSA, of thedocument Pharmacy Education: a Visionfor the Future, IPSF encouraged studentsand education providers to work togetherto prepare tomorrow’s pharmacists towork in a rapidly changing global healthcare environment. IPSF made presenta-tions about pharmacy education at the55th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress inChennai, India during December and atthe 5th Pan-Hellenic PharmaceuticalStudents Congress in Patras, Greece inMay. Over 4000 pharmacy studentsattended the former event.

Last September IPSF conducted a sympo-sium on new trends in pharmacy educationwith the Academic Pharmacy Section ofFIP in Sydney, Australia.

The 2nd IPSF-EPSA Joint Symposium onPharmacy Education was held inStrasbourg, France, in October. One hun-dred and fifty students attended the eventfrom across Europe, North America andthe Asia Pacific. The abstracts andoutcomes from the symposium will bepublished in the Journal of PharmacyEducation later in 2004.

IPSF sought to expand the opportunitiesfor pharmacy students to both participatein international research projects and tohave their work published internationally. The IPSF Moving On Projects were

conducted through the University of London, and focused onresearch into international trends in pharmacy education. Thefirst project, Moving On I, investigated academic mobility in 24countries worldwide. A manuscript from the project has beensubmitted for publication. Moving On II and III will investigatethe international demographics of undergraduate pharmacy students and training to provide cognitive pharmaceutical services provided by community pharmacists respectively.

The 4th IPSF Scientific Symposium was conducted in Bangkok,Thailand during March. More than 25 students contributedposter and oral presentations on topics including Formulationand Development of Sodium Controlled Dosage Forms, the Useof Plants by Australian Aboriginal People and HIV/AIDS in Japan.

IPSF maintained Operational Relations with The United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), andin December, IPSF participated in the 3rd Session of the UNESCOWorld Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge andTechnology conducted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Mobility in pharmacy education is an impor-tant factor in preparing pharmacy studentsto work as health professionals in thedynamic global health care environment. Inmany countries lack of opportunity is oftencompounded by limited access to educa-tional resources and/or non-exposure toinnovative teaching methods. Through theStudent Exchange Programme IPSF worksto create opportunities for improvement inpharmacy education through offeringstudents and young pharmacists interna-tional professional experiences in commu-nity, hospital, academic, administrative andindustrial pharmacy.

Throughout the year 580 students appliedto the IPSF Student Exchange Programme,which was ran in close to 50 countries. Asof June 2004 more than 85% of these students had successfully been placed onexchanges of one to three months durationin countries of their choice.

The popularity of the programme promptedthe executive to investigate the creation ofa new online exchange platform. Theexecutive will be pleased to announce thelaunch of the new system at the 50th IPSFWorld Congress in Halifax, Canada.National and local IPSF Student ExchangeOfficers (SEOs) will be trained in the oper-ation of the online system in one of twoworkshop mornings.

Other new initiatives included the furtherdevelopment of a collaborative programmewith the FIP Industrial Pharmacy Section.The aim of this programme is to createadditional opportunities for students togain professional experience working in thepharmaceutical industry.

As the numbers of IPSF member associations continues to grow so do the opportunities for pharmacy students toundertake professional exchanges. Through the Student Exchange Committee IPSF worked to increase the numbersof Spanish speaking countries in the Pan American region that participate in the programme. In 2004 a number ofEuropean and Asian countries also joined the programme for the first time.

In response to the growing interest among students to work in the field of public health, IPSF was pleased to announcein January the creation of new exchange placements at the International Pharmaceutical Federation in The Hague,The Netherlands. Prior to this IPSF successfully applied the IPSF secretariat to become an accredited work place underthe European Voluntary Service Scheme. This enabled students to be able to apply to conduct European Union sub-sidised training in public health campaigning through IPSF.

For the second year running IPSF awarded several Student Exchange Grants to enable students from developing countries to participate in the programme.

Over the past 12 months IPSF has creatednew and exciting opportunities forpharmacy students in the field of publichealth.

In January the 113th session of theExecutive Board of WHO voted to admitIPSF into Official Relations. The applicationwas four years in development, and wasbased on a plan of collaboration with WHOthat was completed by IPSF lastSeptember. The plan involved having bothpharmacy students and young pharmacistsactively promoting activities for World AidsDay, World Health Day and World NoTobacco Day.

Having Official Relations will mean thatIPSF is granted increased opportunities toactively represent pharmaceutical studentsat WHO committee meetings, conferencesand forums. IPSF now joins IFMSA as onlythe second students' organisation world-wide to be granted Official RelationsStatus. IPSF is the third organisationrepresenting the pharmacy profession toachieve this level of relations.

In December member associationsconducted activities for World Aids Day.Campaigns were conducted in countriesincluding Jamaica, Serbia and Montenegro,Hungary, Ghana and Japan.

In February IPSF participated in a two dayGlobal Tobacco Surveillance TaskforceMeeting conducted by WHO and theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). An outcome of the meeting wasthat IPSF, FIP, WHO and the CDC formedan alliance to undertake a survey all thirdyear pharmacy students worldwide abouttheir personal tobacco use.


IPSF subsequently submitted an application to join the WHO Framework Convention Alliance. This is a group of non-government organisations (NGOs) dedicated to encouraging governments to ratify the WHO Framework Convention onTobacco Control. We look forward to hearing the outcome of the submission. At the upcoming IPSF World Congress inCanada delegates will vote on whether to adopt the Code of Practice on Tobacco Control for Health ProfessionalOrganisations. Member associations across the world conducted activities to mark World No Tobacco Day on May 31.IPSF used the opportunity to launch a joint statement with EPSA entitled Promoting a Tobacco Free Future - PharmacyStudents Take Action. The executive also worked with WHO to re-launch the IPSF Tobacco Free Pharmacy SchoolsInitiative.

In March IPSF encouraged member associations to conduct activities for World TB Day. The Nepal Pharmacy Students'Society conducted a successful rally. In May IPSF launched ajoint statement with the Commonwealth PharmaceuticalAssociation (CPA) entitled Partnerships - The Key to ImprovingHealth Outcomes for Tuberculosis/HIV Patients. The launchtook place at the Commonwealth Health Ministers meeting inGeneva, Switzerland and coincided with IPSF being acceptedinto the WHO Stop TB Partnership. IPSF is the first internation-al organisation representing the pharmacy profession to beadmitted to the partnership.

IPSF encouraged and facilitated member associations to con-duct activities for World Health Day on April 7. The theme thisyear was Road Safety is No Accident. IPSF member associa-tions in France, Portugal, Nepal and India conducted specificactivities for the day. In Portugal more than 600 informationleaflets educating consumers about the potential of medicines toimpair the ability to drive were handed out in the community surrounding the University of Coimbra.

In May IPSF negotiated with WHO to accept four young pharmacist and pharmacy student interns to work at their head-quarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

In September 2003 IPSF was awarded the prestigiousFIP Pharmaceutical Practitioners' Award for excellence inPharmacy Practice for Neema Village Concept Project.

The project was initiated in 1993 with the aim of improv-ing the health status of the people residing in andaround Kiromo, Buma and Mataya villages in Tanzania.After eight years of fundraising bypharmacy students worldwide the first group of interna-tional pharmacy student and young pharmacist volun-teers attended the clinic from May 2001.

Since May 2001 there have been 13 rotations of volunteer phar-macy students and young pharmacists who have staffed theNeema dispensary for periods of between three and six monthsduration. This project continues to be one of the most popular andsuccessful of the federation.

Ongoing student fundraising activities have included trivia nights,charity auctions, fun runs and even an abseiling day from the roofof the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) inLondon. A number of students' associations, including BPhD inGermany and APhA-ASP in the United States, have also raisedmoney to support Neema this year.

In June a number of pharmacy students from around the world willclimb Mt . Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise money for the project.

The 50th IPSF Congress Special Edition of the IPSF News Bulletinwill include a photo essay on the Neema Project to record the

experiences of the many participants. In September 2004 the Neema project will be handed over to theTanzanian Government to continue the running of the clinic and dispen-sary. The handing over ceremony will coincide with the 5th InternationalSymposium on Village Concept Projects that will be hosted by IPSF innearby Bagamoyo.

Acknowledgements:IPSF is very thankful for Sandra Hutchinson and the students of the School ofPharmacyRobert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, for the contribution tothe Neema Village Concept Project.



The success of the IPSF regional structure, launched with the creation of the IPSF Asia Pacific, Pan American andAfrican regional offices in 2001, is evident in the growth of the federation inpreviously under represented areas. The executive enjoyed productive discussions with each of the IPSF RegionalWorking Groups throughout the year. The highlights of each region’s activities were the regional symposiums and con-gresses.

The 3rd IPSF Pan American Regional Symposium (PARS III) took place in Panama City,Panama, from February 4-8. One hundred students attended the event from acrossthe region. The theme of the symposium was A New Organizational Culture inPharmacy, with presenters focusing on new opportunities for young pharmacists towork in the dynamic and rapidly changing health systems across Latin America.

Pharmacy students were also given the opportunity to present their own researchwork and discuss ideas for advancing the pharmacy profession both regionally and glob-

ally. The next Pan American event will be conducted in Jamaica in 2005.

The 3rd IPSF Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Symposium (APPS) was held in Bangkok, Thailand, from March 1-7. Thisevent attracted delegates from over 15 countries.
