ANF — Associação Nacional das Farmácias (National Association of Pharmacies)
The association of pharmacy owners in Portugal; most of the country's pharmacies belong to it. It speaks for pharmacies on shortages of medicines and vaccines, vaccinations in pharmacies, and prices and contracts with the national health service, the SNS.
Where you come across it. News about medicines, flu and Covid jabs in pharmacies, and duty pharmacies.
It is not a state body: the rules on medicines and vaccinations are set by Infarmed and the DGS, while ANF reports how things stand in the pharmacies themselves.
