3.3 A Global Institutional analysis

This report gathered data on country and territory level descriptions of institutions, by which we mean Schools, Faculties or Departments that provide initial education leading to a regulated pharmacy qualification. Figure 3.7 shows a country and territory level profile of the distribution of Schools and Faculties in this sample. Excluding the highest reported figures (see Table 3.4) the global average is around 11 Schools/Faculties per country or territory. However, this should not draw attention away from a sizeable proportion of countries and territories that have only a single national School or Faculty (n=26 or 27% of those countries that reported having a School or Faculty) and 12 countries and territories reporting not having any institution providing pharmacy/pharmaceutical education.

Figure 3.7: Distribution of Schools and Faculties | n= 97.

Table 3.4 shows those countries with the highest number of Schools/faculties and similarly those countries with no established Schools or Faculties reported.
