This dataset provides data on the number of pharmacists by status (ie. practising pharmacists, professionally active pharmacists, and pharmacists licenced to practice). Practising pharmacists prepare, dispense or sell medicaments and drugs for patients and provide advice. Professionally active pharmacists are practising pharmacists and other pharmacists for whom their education in pharmacy is a prerequisite for the execution of the job. Pharmacists licensed to practice include practising and other (non-practising) pharmacists who are registered and entitled to practice. Please refer to the Sources and Methods for detailed country-specific information.
