On 18th November 2020, Tecnigen hosted the second edition of the Pharma Call in both televised and digital format: Meet, Learn & Act, is an initiative that aims to help pharmacies and pharmacists prepare for current and future challenges.

At this edition Tecnigen disclosed to pharmacists the findings of the study “Pharmacies and the Portuguese”, which was conducted by the Centre for Applied Studies (CEA) of the CATÓLICA-LISBON School of Business & Economics and which included two surveys: one conducted among the Portuguese population, which sought to understand how the Portuguese view Portuguese pharmacies, what they value most and how they rate pharmaceutical practice; and another survey directed towards pharmacists, with the aim of assessing the current concerns of pharmacists and the future needs of Portuguese pharmacies.

The event, which was moderated by the journalist Clara de Sousa, was attended by more than 300 people and was also attended by Professor Ana Paula Martins, President of the Portuguese Association of Pharmacists, Diogo Gouveia, Founder of ADIFA (the Portuguese Pharmaceutical Distributors Association), Duarte Santos, President of PGEU (Pharmaceutical Group of the European Union), and Ricardo Reis, Director of CEA, who were invited to comment on the main conclusions of the study.
