PAFI’s Strategic Function in the Health Ecosystem

PAFI is a professional organization that brings together various groups, from academics and practitioners to researchers in the pharmaceutical field. The presence of pharmaceutical experts as technical pharmaceutical human resources is a valuable asset that makes significant contributions to health policy formulation and the development of healthcare services for the community.

PAFI’s main mission is to ensure that every health policy technically guarantees improved healthcare service quality and public welfare.

Synergy with Government for Strategic Objectives

Collaboration between PAFI and government agencies is key to achieving national strategic targets in the health sector. The Ministry of Health and the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), as institutions with authority to formulate and implement health policies, work closely with PAFI.

The organization provides technical and scientific input that helps the government formulate fair, adaptive, and effective regulations. A concrete example of PAFI’s contribution is in developing rational drug use guidelines that ensure drug use in Indonesia is safe, effective, and appropriate to patients’ medical needs.

Through this role, PAFI helps prevent inappropriate drug use and reduces the risk of side effects that could harm the community and patients.

Improving Healthcare Service Quality

PAFI Bantul Regency actively organizes special training and certification programs for pharmacists. These programs aim to ensure that pharmaceutical professionals have adequate competence in providing quality services to the community.

In this regard, PAFI collaborates with the Ministry of Health to develop training curricula that are relevant and aligned with field needs.
