About IFPW...
The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (IFPW) represents a
strong, effective platform to establish strong dialog within the global
pharmaceutical community. The association is dedicated to helping its
members and stakeholders advance the safe, efficient and continuous access to
pharmaceuticals worldwide through the promotion of good distribution practices
and services.
IFPW supports and represents the majority of stakeholders in the pharmaceutical
distribution industry. Key to the industry are the full-line wholesalers.
The activity of pharmaceutical full-line wholesaling consists of the purchase
and sale, warehousing, storage, order preparation, and delivery of medicines.
Pharmaceutical full-line wholesalers carry and distribute the full assortment of
products (in range and depth) to meet the needs of those with whom they have
normal business relations and deliver all medicines used in their geographical
area of activity within a short time limit.
IFPW represents wholesalers and wholesaler associations in 26 countries comprising
40% of the global market. Companies participating in IFPW have indispensable opportunities to network with
their colleagues and explore
future business ventures.
2009 is a year of outreach and transition for IFPW. The Board of Directors
has developed the following strategic objectives for 2009-2010, ensuring all
industry leaders in the pharmaceutical supply chain are involved:
-
Improve the image and promote the value proposition of full-line wholesalers
to all stakeholders.
-
Strengthen key stakeholder relationships through engaging in meaningful and
relevant dialogues.
-
Meet with the World Health Organization (WHO) to plan and execute global
pandemic / disaster response networks.
-
Continue to serve as the industry's international networking and information
platform.
