Empowering pharmacists to support tobacco cessation in Southeast Asia

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-IE">In the South-East Asia Region, 26.5% of
people aged 15 years and over were current tobacco users. Given the global and
regional prevalence and burden of tobacco use, particularly as a risk factor
for noncommunicable diseases, it is important that the role of pharmacists in
this area is expanded and consolidated. FIP and the SEARPharm Forum invite you
to join this event to learn more about the burden of tobacco use in the
South-East Asia region and the role that pharmacists can play in tobacco
cessation. The event includes insights from the WHO Regional Office, country
examples of pharmacist services and the presentation of FIP resources to
advance tobacco cessation through pharmacists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
