Impact of the increase in the number of community pharmacists on their geographical distribution in Japan: a retrospective survey

ConclusionThe increase in the number of community pharmacists has improved the distribution of community pharmacists per population, but not that per area of inhabitable land. The maldistribution of community pharmacists per area implies an imbalance in the distance between pharmacies and residents. Thus, there is need for measures to improve the distribution of community pharmacists.
