Future of the pharmacies: BPI strengthens the dialogue on the 2024 Expopharm

A powerful commitment to the future of pharmacies! In the middle of the busy atmosphere of the 2024 Expopharm, the largest European trade fair for the pharmacy market, the Federal Association of Pharmaceutical Industry (BPI) sets a strong sign. "We see it as our task to actively support the preservation of on-site pharmacies," said Oliver Kirst, the dynamic chairman of the BPI, at the opening of this important event.

The message is clear: the pharmacies on site are essential for the pension of drugs for the population. They are the first contact points for many patients who rely on personal locations and trusting advice. Kirst warns of the planned reforms of the Federal Government, which consider a “pharmacy light” and thus harbors serious risks to the quality and safety of pharmaceutical supply in Germany. "We are not allowed to allow such plans!", He called and called for stronger cooperation between pharmacists and the pharmaceutical industry.

On October 10th, he will discuss the challenges and opportunities for the pharmacies in Germany on stage with prominent experts.

Joachimsen emphasizes the importance of a strong partnership: "As a BPI, we are shoulder on the shoulder with the pharmacies on site." The pharmaceutical industry has a vital interest in the fact that medicines transports safely and responsibly and reaches qualified pharmacists in the hands of qualified pharmacists. "Successful health care can only be guaranteed through close cooperation!" He adds.

The "Health Care Day", initiated by the BPI, is planned for November 13th in Berlin and is intended to develop further solutions to improve care. The clock ticks, and the pharmacies need support more than ever!

The Expopharm 2024 is therefore not just a trade fair, but the shop window of an entire industry that is stormy in stormy times and is determined in the future.
