Institutional and associative intervention significantly impact planning and changing healthcare policies. As such, it is crucial to strengthen strategies to promote the evolution of healthcare policies and to enhance the positive economic value of healthcare provided by pharmacists in community pharmacies to other healthcare professionals and members of the community. This political and public participation and intervention with local authorities is even more relevant, mainly when decentralising competencies in the health sector is underway. Pharmacists must highlight the consequences of their day-to-day intervention in communities to promote the development of policies that allow their actions to be effectively and fully included in the health system. This will make it clear that the reduction in total health expenditure, the reduction in avoidable health care, and the reduction in social costs are the three points most impacted by pharmaceutical intervention.¹
