E-drug: Pharmacists to Population Ratio (cont'd) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as I know there is none. Investigation has shown that it varies from 1 pharmacy (with 1 pharmacist) per 1500 heads (Greece) to 1 pharmacy (with several pharmacists and additional staff) per 18 000 heads (Denmark). It also depends what the pharmacies concentrate on. If the pharmacies sell other stuff besides medicines, they tend to serve a smaller amount of people. Scandinavian and Dutch pharmacies serve 10 000 to 18 000 heads, but concentrate on medicines and medical aids.
