In Portugal, as in most European countries, the pharmacy industry is regulated by specific legislation. This regulation is based on the understanding that the activity of pharmacies is in the public interest and is an integral part of the health system, namely medicines and public health policies. Within the scope of community pharmacies, several regulatory bodies are involved. In this context of multiple stakeholders in the field of regulating, licensing and supervising pharmacies, it is crucial to ensure that mechanisms are in place to reduce the context costs generated by the fees and contributions paid to the authorities, as well as the efficiency of the requirements established by the regulatory standards, through proper coordination between the various regulators.
