Our Mandate

The window to the healthcare ecosystem

Established in 1979 as a technical arm of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) and affiliated with the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP), we represent the pulse of community pharmacy in Akwa Ibom. Our mandate is simple: empower registered community pharmacists to embrace international best practices, and build the collaborations that keep the health sector working.

From primary healthcare delivery to medication therapy management, we work to ensure every pharmacy in the state remains a place of quality care and professional integrity.

Strategic Pillars

Four commitments that shape everything we do

Clinical Integrity

Rational drug therapy, medication counselling and advanced therapy management held to a single standard across every member pharmacy.

Public Health Advocacy

Community missions and disease awareness for HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, non-communicable diseases and reproductive health.

Capacity Building

Continuous professional development that keeps our members ahead in the ever-evolving health sector.

Member Welfare

A protective shield for members — safeguarding professional interests, operational standards and the right to practise well.

What we do

Professional services,
community impact

For most families in Akwa Ibom, the pharmacy is the first stop — not the last. Our members carry that responsibility across four areas of practice.

01

Clinical Excellence

Comprehensive patient counselling, rational drug therapy monitoring and full medication therapy management — the everyday clinical work that keeps treatment safe.

02

Public Health Outreach

Proactive community missions covering HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, non-communicable diseases and reproductive health, alongside anti-retroviral refill services and support for orphan and vulnerable groups.

03

Frontline Healthcare

Immunisation services, point-of-care testing, health referrals and disease-day advocacy that turn every community pharmacy into a primary care access point.

04

Professional Support

Dedicated regulatory advocacy, capacity-building workshops, drug storage and distribution standards, and holistic welfare for every member of the branch.

Community pharmacies are the first port of call for patients. The ACPN is the vital window to the healthcare ecosystem.
