How many pharmacies are there in the world? We know there are 55,000
in the USA. 7k in Canada. 5k in Australia and 12k in the UK BUT we
need to know the total number of pharmacies by country in the world!
Help! You must provide a link to the data so we can reference it. Workforce and Migration Study - FIP - International Pharmaceutical ::
The countries from which foreign pharmacists were originally trained in and/or registered in and the breakdown for each country. The number of pharmacists

Hi woodien,
I have spent most of today (literally) working on your question and
currently have 45 countries completed (mostly in Europe). There are
192 member countries of the UN and researching them all to find the
number of pharmacies in each, I believe, is beyond the scope of your
posted price (researchers get 75% of the posted amount). Please let
me know if I can go ahead and post Europe here and then you could post
new questions for the other regions (e.g., Africa, the Americas, Asia,
Middle East). It's a very time consuming project!
I'll look forward to your reply,
hummer
This is fine.
woodien-ga,
Just a note to say I fully agree with my colleague that it is
difficult to compile the number of pharmacies per country around the
world.
However, there IS reliable data on the number of pharmacists...perhaps
that measure would be of interest to you as a surrogate statistic.
For instance, here is what the data looks like for a few of the countries listed:
Number of pharmacists per country:
Tuvalu 1
Uganda 688
Ukraine 23,576
United Arab Emirates 1,086
United Kingdom 29,726
United States of America 249,642
Uzbekistan 899
Viet Nam 5,977
Yemen 2,638
Zambia 1,039
Zimbabwe 883
Let me know if that information is of interest to you...and if it is,
you may wish to post a new question to request it.
Cheers,
