Facey Pharmaceutical has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening the pharmacy profession and advancing healthcare delivery across Jamaica and the wider Caribbean through its sponsorship of the Pharmaceutical Society of Jamaica/Caribbean Association of Pharmacists’ 41st Joint Annual Conference 2026.

Held from August 17-23, the regional conference brought together pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, students, healthcare leaders and industry partners for a week of professional development, collaboration and exchange under the theme “Pharmacists Advancing Healthcare Through Innovation, Policy and Practice.”

Facey Pharmaceutical joined the conference as a Silver Sponsor and also served as the exclusive sponsor of Gala Night, underscoring the company’s commitment not only to supporting the continued development of the profession, but also to recognising the pharmacists whose work contributes daily to stronger healthcare systems and better patient experiences.

For Facey, participation in the conference reflects a broader belief that pharmacists remain essential partners throughout the healthcare journey.

Dr. Meleacia Benjamin, General Manager of Facey Healthcare, said: “Pharmacists are among the most accessible and trusted healthcare professionals in our communities, and their contribution extends far beyond the dispensing of medicines. At Facey, we believe that strengthening healthcare requires strong partnerships with the professionals who interact with patients every day. Our support of the PSJ/CAP Joint Annual Conference reflects our commitment to expanding access, supporting professional development and working alongside pharmacists to ultimately improve patient outcomes across Jamaica and the Caribbean.”

Facey Healthcare continues to evolve its role within the healthcare ecosystem beyond traditional product distribution. Through the combined capabilities of its Pharmaceutical, Hospital Equipment & Supplies and Consumer Healthcare divisions, the company connects healthcare partners with medicines, medical technologies and consumer health solutions, complemented by support services designed to strengthen healthcare delivery.

Its wider capabilities include patient access and support programmes, market-access solutions, clinical and technical support and turnkey healthcare programmes developed around the needs of principals, healthcare providers, institutions and patients.

This approach is anchored in three core pillars, access, governance and service, reflecting Facey’s commitment to expanding reliable access to healthcare solutions, operating with regulatory excellence and providing knowledgeable, responsive support throughout the healthcare value chain.

The 2026 conference provided an important environment in which these priorities can intersect with the continued development of pharmacy practice.

As pharmacists respond to new therapeutic options, changing patient expectations, advances in technology and the evolving demands of healthcare delivery, continued professional development and collaboration across the industry become increasingly important.

President of The Pharmaceutical Society of Jamaica (PSJ), Dr. Tyrone Smith, said:

“Partnerships with healthcare organisations like Facey Pharmaceutical are important to advancing the pharmacy profession, creating opportunities for continued education, innovation and meaningful exchange as pharmacists respond to an evolving healthcare landscape.”

Throughout the conference, Facey Pharmaceutical engaged with members of the pharmacy community through educational, professional and interactive content designed to celebrate both the expertise and evolving role of pharmacists.  “Facey had a strong presence throughout the conference. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the company’s wider healthcare offerings at the booth, and Gala Night was a wonderful way to celebrate and connect with colleagues from across the region,” said Reneé Hamilton.

The company’s exclusive sponsorship of Gala Night provided an additional opportunity to recognise the profession in a more celebratory setting, strengthening relationships among pharmacists, industry partners and other healthcare stakeholders from across the region.

For Facey, the sponsorship represents an extension of a much broader commitment: bringing together the right products, expertise and support at the right time to help strengthen healthcare delivery.

One healthcare partner. Integrated solutions. Greater access. Better outcomes.
