The traditions of the independent "Lithuanian Pharmacists Union" founded in the Republic of Lithuania.

The LFS initiative revived the pre-war Baltic tradition of holding annual meetings of pharmaceutical specialists to discuss problems.

The first meeting took place in Vilnius, in the city hall"BaltPharm Forum" was established, and in 2019, the 22nd meeting took place again in Lithuania. We believe that these "people's diplomacy" events help to implement the provisions of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania and the Government of the Republic of Lithuania to improve and activate cooperation between the Baltic countries at the level of the pharmaceutical sector.
