EPPAD: A Brief History
Ethiopian Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists in Diaspora (EPPAD) is a non-profit organization founded by experts in the field of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The association founded mainly to bring pharmaceutical and allied professionals together to contribute to pharmacy education, practice service, and scholarship. The growing Ethiopian born Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists in diaspora motivated founding members to form a formal professional association for Ethiopian pharmaceutical community in diaspora. The founding team conducts its first official meeting on April 25, 2018, to discuss the idea of establishing the association. On this first meeting, they agreed to form a team and approached other members to hold their first foundational meeting on May 10, 2018, and discussed the details of the formation of the professional association. The suggested name of the association was Ethiopian Pharmacists and Pharmaceutical Scientists Association in Diaspora, abbreviated as EPPAD that aspires to promote public health through pharmacy care in the US and Ethiopia..
