The research highlighted the multifaceted nature of the pharmacists' roles, which extend beyond dispensing medicines, bridging gaps in healthcare access through culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate services. The study also shed light on the adaptive strategies and recommendations for strengthening the role of migrant pharmacists.
