The plight of unemployed pharmacists and pharmacist’s assistants

Abstract

Looking back on 2024, it’s clear that it was one of the busiest and most impactful years for the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa (PSSA). From active branches across the country to hosting the 82nd FIP Congress—the first ever held in sub-Saharan Africa—it was truly a remarkable year for the PSSA. Not only did we grow our membership, but we welcomed the South African Pharmacy Student Federation (SAPSF) to our NEC meetings. I look forward to working with them for the benefit of our members and the pharmacy profession as a whole. A special thank you to everyone who contributed to these successes.
