Opella and FIP Launch Five-Year Partnership on Global Self-Care
Consumer health company Opella and the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) have launched a five-year strategic partnership to advance self-care and health literacy worldwide.
Opella, a global consumer health company, and the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), representing over 5.5 million pharmacists globally, have announced a five-year strategic partnership aimed at advancing self-care and health literacy across the world.
The collaboration, which formalizes a relationship dating back to 2020, will focus on three key areas: sustainable pharmacy practice, health literacy and education, and equitable access to self-care. The organizations aim to strengthen the role of pharmacists in public health and integrate self-care into Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
This initiative seeks to leverage global data, advocacy, and educational programs to empower national pharmacy associations, enhance public health literacy, and promote responsible self-care practices. Initial efforts will include a global survey in 15 countries examining pharmacists' roles in self-care and health literacy, with findings to be presented in May.
