3.9. Role of Pharmaceutical Organisations Similar to the vast majority of international
documents, this vision and proposed
actions should be considered by national
pharmaceutical organisations in
accordance with their regional and local
needs and situation. These are general
guidance topics, and the ultimate
responsibility for ascertaining their
suitability and applicability lies with each
national pharmaceutical organisation.
However, the Community Pharmacy
Section considers that these strategic
directions should and could be attainable
in the near future by a majority of
countries.
Therefore, the role of national
pharmaceutical organisations is to review
each one of the proposed actions, promote
a debate within the profession, and
implement them as deemed fit and
appropriate. No one would expect all these
actions to be enforced at the same time,
but even a gradual implementation needs
to have a beginning, and no time is better
for it than now.
