- I would like to thank all PGEU members for their trust. 2026 will be an extremely important year for pharmacy – the priorities will be the ongoing amendment to the general pharmaceutical legislation of the European Union, the Act on critical medicines and the ongoing problems with shortages of medicines and pharmaceutical staff. We will continue our joint efforts in finding effective solutions. I look forward to working with all PGEU members to make our vision of the future of pharmacy a reality, ensuring that the profession of pharmacist remains vibrant, sustainable and focused on solving growing challenges – said Dr. Mikołaj Konstanty, quoted by NIA.
