As we progress in the countdown, today marks day 154 toward the 44th Annual International Scientific Conference of the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN). Scheduled to take place from July 22 to 27, 2025, at the International Conference Center in Awka, Anambra, this year's conference theme is "Technology Integration and Personalized Care: The Future of Community Pharmacy Practice." This theme aims to explore the role of technology in enhancing healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes, fostering collaboration among stakeholders in the pharmaceutical sector.

Did you know that the Niger Bridge, also known as the Onitsha Bridge, connects Onitsha in Anambra to Asaba in Delta State, crossing the Niger River? This vital infrastructure was built to ease congestion and is crucial for economic connectivity between the Southeastern and Western regions of Nigeria. The bridge significantly facilitates the movement of goods and people, playing an essential role in trade and commerce across the region.

Anambra is hailed as the “light of the nation,” symbolizing its pivotal role in driving economic growth and development. As we look forward to "IFEADIGO 2025," which translates to "light has come," we will explore how such critical infrastructure contributes to enhancing healthcare delivery and pharmaceutical accessibility in Anambra and beyond.

Join us in celebrating these essential connections that not only support the economy but also enrich the healthcare landscape, reinforcing Anambra’s position as a beacon of progress.
