Abstract
Planning and development of the pharmaceutical workforce is fundamental for achieving universal health coverage and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has recognized the importance of constructing mechanisms for transforming the global workforce. FIP has launched a developmental roadmap in order to support and facilitate global, regional and national transformations of pharmaceutical education and the workforce. However, the limited existing literature on the pharmaceutical workforce in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) report persistent workforce challenges. This necessitates stronger engagement across all EMR countries to develop workable and sustainable strategic plans for workforce and educational development based on the ‘adopt and adapt’ approach to national transformation needs and the FIP roadmap. EMR countries have an opportunity to engage with FIP in collaborative programmes to implement the FIP roadmap locally, provide proof of concept and leadership model for other WHO regions.
