The Pharmaceutical Worker Day was established by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation in 2021. The date (May 19) was chosen not by chance as it was on this day in 1581 that, by order of Ivan the Terrible, the first pharmacy in Russia opened its doors not only to sell drugs but also to create new medicines.

In Russia, the pharmaceutical industry is a key driver of innovation and technology on a par with the world’s best standards. To date, our country has about 72,000 pharmacies^[1] and more than 500 pharmaceutical enterprises^[2]. Thanks to personnel of pharmaceutical factories and pharmacy chains, patients across the country receive excellent and effective drugs without interruption.
