Institutional Presentation

The National Association of Pharmacies (ANF), founded on 15 October 1975, represents the owners of community pharmacies in Portugal. Today, it has over 2,700 affiliated pharmacies, accounting for approximately 94% of all community pharmacies in the country.

Its areas of activity span the political, associative, professional, business, and economic-financial domains, as well as social and cultural responsibility. In addition to its national headquarters in Lisbon, ANF has two regional delegations located in Porto and Coimbra, operating through a decentralised structure.

ANF is today a voice for Health, representing community pharmacies, promoting innovation in the sector with a direct impact on people’s health, and strengthening the connection between pharmacies and society.
