The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Wholesalers’ (IFPW) role is to help its members and stakeholders advance the safe, efficient and continuous access to pharmaceuticals worldwide through the promotion of good distribution practices and services.

Welcome...

Although pharmaceutical wholesalers are, for the most part, transparent to you as a patient or a consumer, they perform a vital role in your everyday life. It is the pharmaceutical wholesaler that provides, at any time and in any location, your pharmacist, your doctor and your hospital with the medicines required to maintain your health.

Pharmaceutical wholesalers also provide and make available product, patient and disease information systems to assist your medical professional team in managing and curing the diseases that may encumber your health. For example, they provide computer systems to pharmacists and doctors which aid in the detection of drug interactions when a patient is taking more than one drug.

The pharmaceutical wholesaler is your primary link among the caring hands of your pharmacist and doctor and the devoted efforts of pharmaceutical manufacturers to increase the quality of your life.  I invite you to view our 2012 International Leadership Award video to learn more about our industry and its leadership.  You may also click here to view a testimonal from one of IFPW's members on the value, both professional and personal, the Federation offers.
