Choosing Salvador as the host city for the 8th ABCF Congress is a decision that brings together tradition, innovation, and a commitment to the future of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brazil.
Salvador is recognized as the birthplace of pharmaceutical education in the country, having hosted one of the first official programs in the field in 1832, linked to the historic Faculty of Medicine of Bahia. This legacy gives the city a symbolic and strategic role, connecting the profession’s trajectory to the contemporary challenges of science, technology, and health.
The city also offers a direct connection to the main challenges of Brazilian public health, including health inequalities, neglected diseases, and the need to strengthen the Unified Health System (SUS). Holding the event in this context broadens the scope of scientific discussions and reinforces the commitment to equity.
With a strategic location in the Northeast region, Salvador facilitates access for participants from different parts of the country, promoting diversity, inclusion, and the decentralization of scientific production.
More than just a destination, Salvador is a symbol of diversity, creativity, and resilience – an ideal setting to drive pharmaceutical innovation with a Brazilian identity and a strong social commitment.
