Federfarma Catanzaro celebra il decennale del convegno

**Federfarma Catanzaro celebrates on April 11, 2026, the 10th anniversary of the Conference** that has accompanied the transformation of the pharmacy system in Calabria and the South since 2016. Ten years of transformation for community pharmacies and the evolving role of pharmacists in public health and proximity healthcare. The conference will be an opportunity for institutional reflection on the journey of Italian pharmacies: from the traditional dispensing of medication to a structured integration within the network of territorial health services, from prevention to telemedicine and the strategic role in proximity healthcare as outlined in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). *“In these ten years, pharmacies have proven to be much more than just a commercial presence,”* says Vincenzo Defilippo, President of Federfarma Catanzaro and Calabria. *“It has become an access point to health, a place for prevention, monitoring, and health guidance for citizens. The 10th anniversary is not a celebration, but a call to take responsibility for the future.”*

The conference will feature the participation of institutional representatives, healthcare professionals, and sector experts, aiming to analyze the impact of territorial health policies, the role of pharmacists in the new model of healthcare assistance, and the prospects for service pharmacies, especially in rural areas and Southern Italy.

This initiative is part of a journey that started in 2016 by Federfarma Catanzaro and anticipates central themes in the national debate: integration with the National Health Service, digital innovation, telemedicine, and the proximity of care.
