The legal nature of community pharmacies is subject to legal requirements in terms of installation and operation. In addition, pharmacies have to comply with demanding requirements regarding the premises they occupy and their licensing. They are required to have certain divisions suitable for carrying out their activity (customer service room, warehouse, laboratory and sanitary facilities), and to comply with minimum areas set out in a regulation by INFARMED, I.P. These requirements are a factor of added complexity in the search for spaces that can simultaneously fulfil the necessary infrastructure criteria. It is therefore proposed to define measures to protect pharmacies’ leases, the benefits of which are to promote greater protection for pharmacies in the face of rent increases, which could jeopardise the cohesion of the network, as well as the continuity of the provision of pharmaceutical care and, consequently, enhance a health response in line with the needs of the population.
